USA Network's Social Competition Series The Anonymous Gets Premiere Date: Details
In this new competition series from the creators of The Traitors, 12 contestants must remain anonymous to collect up to $100,000.
A dramatic new competition series is on its way to USA Network, joining the ranks of Temptation Island, Barmageddon, and The Big D.
From Studio Lambert, the producers behind The Traitors and The Circle, comes a revolutionary new competition series: The Anonymous.
The Anonymous is a game of social strategy where people are free to say what they really feel behind the safety of a mask. What would you say and do if nobody knew it was you behind the mask?
How does The Anonymous work?
In the ultimate game of covert deception, 12 players will manipulate, mislead, and do whatever it takes to secure up to $100,000.
The Anonymous is a strategic competition played in two worlds: the real world and anonymous mode. The Digital Anonymous Networking Interface, or “DANI” for short, has invited 12 players to live in her domain and work side-by-side to raise a prize fund of up to $100,000. Despite their close quarters, all players will have their own private underground hideouts, where each is completely anonymous and can say anything and everything behind the mask of a unique handle. In their hideouts, players can provide raw, unfiltered takes on their fellow contestants. They will scheme, connive, and deceive to build influence and advance their game. The question is: Can they stay anonymous while doing so, or will the other players guess their identity?

Each week DANI conducts tests where all contestants must try and match players to their handles. The player who is best at staying anonymous becomes the one with the power to eliminate their competitors. In a game where every move is calculated and a single misstep can expose who you truly are, only one will take home the grand prize.
In this game, anonymity equals power and the player best at staying anonymous becomes the player with the power to eliminate their competitors. Straddling two realities, contestants must play the ultimate game of perception and deception to win.
