Netflix’s got something wild dropping on May 6th at 4 PM—The Devil’s Plan: Death Room. It’s back and bigger this time, with 14 contestants (that’s two more than Season 1) all shacked up together for 7 days. They’ll be thrown into a psychological survival game to see who’s got the sharpest brain of them all.
So here’s the setup: every day, they’ll go head-to-head in the main match. Depending on how they do, the top half get the comfier “living quarters” while the bottom half? Yeah, they’re off to the “prison quarters.” And every night in that prison zone, there’s an elimination showdown called the “Prison Match.” Brutal.
This season’s line-up? Absolutely stacked. You’ve got Lee Se-dol (yup, the guy who went up against AlphaGo), Kyuhyun from Super Junior, pro poker player Seven High, and actor Justin H. But that’s not all.
There’s also ex-JTBC announcer Kang Ji-young, model-slash-KAIST grad Choi Hyun-jun, and plastic surgeon Kim Ha-rin—just to name a few. The vibe? Full-on brain war. Expect a dopamine-fueled ride as these smart folks from all walks of life go head-to-head.
They’re not just smart—they’re next-level. Jung Hyun-Gyu’s in there, repping the highest IQ in Mensa Korea, plus Park Sang-yeon, a gold medalist at the freakin’ International Physics Olympiad. You know there’s gonna be mind games, betrayals, temporary alliances—you name it.
The whole series is made up of 12 episodes, and here’s the drop schedule: first four hit on May 6th, then eps 5 to 9 come out on the 13th, and finally, the last three (10–12) land on May 20th.
Bottom line? It’s brains, betrayals, and big personalities—and it’s all going global on Netflix.
