Million Dollar Secret is a reality series with a premise full of mystery and cutthroat competition. While the Netflix original is relatively new, since it was released on Mar. 26, it has gained the attention of viewers. The show centers around 12 strangers who are in a fancy lakeside estate with some jaw dropping views. They are tasked with discovering one player with a secret. For murder mystery fans, this show may be a welcome addition to your binge sessions since the anticipation could be cut with a knife.

So, the stakes are high and the game is all about deception and sussing out secrets. Despite all the drama in the show, there’s one thing that definitely can’t be hidden – the over-the-top mansion that the players reside in during the game. This is where they have daily activities to win advantages and have nightly dinners where they try to eliminate the true millionaire within the group.
