A teaser trailer for Deal or No Deal Island was just released.
This new spin-off from Deal or No Deal has a new host, features a few celebrities, and has an even bigger cash prize.
Howie Mandel served as the original host of Deal or No Deal, but he has handed over the briefcase for this on-location spin-off.
The new show debuts at 9:30/8:30c on Monday, February 26. This new NBC show slides into the 10/9c primetime slot on March 4.
After episodes debut on NBC, they will become available for streaming on Peacock.
The stakes are much more pronounced for Deal or No Deal Island, with more than $200 million in prize money hidden around the island (in briefcase form).

The Deal or No Deal Island teaser trailer
Below is the teaser trailer NBC has released for its new show. It gives a feel for the show and how it differs from the version Howie Mandel hosted.
For viewers unfamiliar with the new host, Joe Manganiello is known for playing Alcide on True Blood, a dancer in Magic Mike, and Owen Morello on One Tree Hill.
Each episode has the players competing in challenges to secure briefcases. Those briefcases are used in that evening’s Deal or No Deal game.
If the player makes a “good deal” and accepts an offer higher than their selected case, they choose who to eliminate. Accepting a “bad deal” (less than their case value) leads to that person’s elimination. It continues each episode until one person is left to face the Banker and potentially win the biggest prize in Deal or No Deal history.
