Trivia
The original US version debuted in February 2020 and became a worldwide hit for Netflix, with other countries quickly following suit to release their versions on the streaming service. Brazil was the first to release their own series in October 2021 with a further three series following it. Japan was the second to air their series in February 2022 (and even greenlit plans for a second series a month later before cancelling it in October). Sweden released a version in January 2024, the franchise's first to use a single host. By July 2024, four more countries as well as the UK including Mexico, Argentina, Germany, and the United Arab Emirates have commissioned their versions that have yet to be aired or even made.
