A gripping new Netflix drama is on the way, and viewers are already adoring it.
Following the great success of Squid Games and The Traitors, the streaming service has introduced The Trust: A Game of Greed, an eight-part psychological reality series.
The show, presented by journalist and former CNN correspondent Brooke Baldwin, is based on greed, with 11 strangers given the option of splitting the $250,000 prize money evenly or voting individuals out to keep more money for themselves.
Netflix posted the teaser for the series on Friday, with the tagline teasing: ‘You never know who’s speaking the truth.
‘If you loved Squid Game: The Challenge, TRUST me this will be your next reality competition obsession.’
Following the release of the trailer, fans have gone insane.

The Trust has a similar tone to Claudia Winkleman’s BBC One drama The Traitors.
The Traitors follows 22 competitors as they compete for £120,000 in a Scottish Highlands castle.
But there’s a catch: three of them are traitors whose mission it is to’murder’ a gamer every night without being discovered. The other players, known as the ‘Faithfuls,’ must strive to identify them before becoming the next victim.
Netflix has transformed the popular programme Squid Game, which saw hundreds of cash-strapped competitors risk their lives to participate in games for a tantalising reward, into a reality TV show that debuted last month.
However, competitors were not jeopardising their lives and instead battled for a $4.56 million cash prize.
The Trust: A Game of Greed is set to premiere on Netflix on January 10.
