“Deal or No Deal Island,” the newly designed reboot of the long-running primetime NBC game show “Deal or No Deal,” will premiere with a 90-minute special at 9:30 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 26.
FYI: Subsequent episodes will air Mondays at 10 p.m. beginning on March 4
Hosted by Joe Manganiello, the iconic game show is back, but this time on the Banker’s private island where players compete in challenges to find briefcases hidden around the island worth more than $200 million. Then, players will try to beat the Banker in “Deal or No Deal.”
According to the NBC website, in the original ”Deal or no Deal” contestants went through the ringer, but they were only battling wills with the Banker for the length of one game.
On the new “Deal or no Deal Island” series, the 13 contestants stick around for much longer, and they’re competing not just against the Banker but against each other as they brave physical challenges and the stress of picking the right briefcase in a bid to be the ultimate winner of the biggest prize in “Deal or No Deal” history.

The contestants range in background from a distinguished “Survivor” veteran to an older woman who might be tougher than her somewhat frail appearance.
The stakes are so high that Manganiello said he “totally understands” some of the dramatic breakdowns.
“I think people are going to lose their minds when they see some of what’s going on,” Manganiello predicted.
