New Season. New Host.
Netflix announced Thursday morning that our favorite reality competition series, The Mole, is back for another season of lies and deception. When the sophomore season debuts this summer, new host Ari Shapiro takes the reigns from former host Alex Wagner.
Shapiro is an award-winning anchor of NPR’s All Things Considered, one of the most listened-to radio news programs in the United States, as well as a host of NPR’s daily afternoon news podcast, Consider This. His debut memoir, “The Best Strangers in the World: Stories from a Life Spent Listening,” was an instant New York Times bestseller. As a singer, he has performed in some of the world’s most storied venues, from Carnegie Hall to the Hollywood Bowl.
The Mole‘s second season on the streaming giant will span three weeks, beginning on June 28 with ne episodes premiering through July 12.
The series is an unpredictable, high-stakes competition series hosted by journalist Ari Shapiro. In this version, twelve players work together in challenges to add money to a pot that only one of them will win at the end. Among the players is one person who has secretly been designated “the Mole” and tasked with sabotaging the group’s money-making efforts. In the end, one player will outlast their competition and expose the Mole to win the prize pot.
