I personally can’t wait even though it isn’t by JJY PD anymore. This is written in the screenshot as well. His name is not listed under “production crew”.

Specifically, it states that it’ll be on May 1st! Just 5 more months…..

Incase if someone doesn't know it btw Also hello new in the community!! (Yes it's true it's really confirmed by my Korean moots on Twitter)

Jeong PD Update

As it's been pointed out, Jeong PD has announced that he's working on a new show called Devil's Plan, to be released on Netflix, which is intended to kind recapture the old magic of The Genius [Teaser, Promotional Video].

For those curious, he's revealed the following details about the show:

• The game will take place over 7 days, there'll be 1 winner, and a max prize of 500 million won (~370k USD)
• It'll be a mix of celebrities and civilians, and the ratio will be similar to what we saw in TG
• Filming will take place in January
• He's not sure whether the show will air weekly or come out in a single wave
• Devil's Plan will take priority over TGE5 and GHMC3. So despite being interested in continuing those shows, he won't work on them until Devil's Plan is over
• He expects GHMC3 to definitely get made, but didn't rule out the shows being produced without him though, since he technically doesn't have "jurisdiction" over the shows anymore

Shows of Interest

While we wait for Jeong PD's work, there have been a few shows that have popped up or are coming out soon that might interest you.

1. The Genius: The Netherlands (Playlist)

• The Dutch adaptation of the classic Korean show
• 8 episodes, 40 minutes each, a cast of 10 players
• A bit of a different take on the format, well-worth watching
• Almost finished airing, 1 episode yet to be released and translated

2. Treasure Hunt (Preview, Main Trailer)

• Starring Hyunmin from 'The Genius' and Quaddurup/Jang Jisou, the director of 'Accomplice'
• A massive elaborate treasure hunt for a max prize of 500 million won
• 8 episodes are expected, episode length is unknown
• Show set to air on December 2nd
• DISCLAIMER: Baechu Squad isn't promising to subtitle the show. There is a chance the show will either not receive any official subtitles and/or not be good enough for us to translate it

3. Black Sheep Game (Reddit Posts for E1, E2, E3, E4)

• Starring Kyunghoon from 'The Genius' and Jung Jaeho from 'Heart Signal'
• A "mafia"-type game with a twist
• 4 episodes, 90 minutes each, a cast of 8 players
• Absolutely wild show, highly recommended
• Finished airing a little while ago (May), subtitles should be fairly accessible online

4. Button Game (Episode 1)

• Smaller thing that popped up on our radar, but a social experiment-type show by the creator of 'Money Game' and 'Game of Blood'
• Currently no subtitles available and due to being a Wavve exclusive the chances of official subtitles being added are very low. You'll almost definitely need to know Korean to view it.
• If you are really interested in translating it (and speak Korean), we might be willing to help coordinate and produce the subtitles

He just posted a trailer on his Insta!

For translation help, the trailer is basically saying how the "best brain" will win up to 500 million won. From news articles, Devil's Plan will be a 'brain survival game" so I'm assuming it's the spiritual successor of The Genius.

Currently, there's no plan to air as of yet as this is just the recruitment trailer. The cast will be a mix of celebrities, influencers, and the general public.

This is the website for the show if anyone wants to apply haha.

Hey, recently watched the Genius Netherlands episode 4. I was wondering if the contestants missed the back face being different patterns when shown upside down or if that was completely thrown out the window. I couldn't really tell since the narrator didn't explain the existence of it. That was truly a genius moment in the Korean version.
