What is Cheat about on Netflix? The rules explained
It's a binge-worthy battle of brains, wit and barefaced lying
Streaming service fans who are scrolling for something juicy to watch might wonder what is Cheat about on Netflix? As we explain the rules.
The title itself might suggest that it's some kind of relationship documentary or fictional series like Dead to Me Season 3, but in fact it is cheating of a different nature - and involves a gameshow with cash prizes and real people.
Hosted by former EastEnders star Danny Dyer and comedian turned Strictly star Ellie Taylor, four contestants will be given the ultimate challenge, as we look at all you need to know about the upcoming show...

She added, "What a total babe of a show to work on - brilliant game, ace crew and contestants, plus Danny was the best company a treacle could ask for. Can’t wait for you to see it."

Cheat on Netflix rules explained
Netflix has teased the rule of Cheat as it explains the one rule players must stick to and that's - 'Don't get caught'. It explained, "In a binge-worthy battle of brains, wit… and barefaced lying, four brave players have their knowledge put to the ultimate test as they bluff and blag across three rounds to avoid elimination and build a potential jackpot of over £50,000. But however you play it, there’s just one crucial rule… don't get caught!"
Each round contestants have the chance to build up the prize pot each time they get a correct answer, to the tune of a £50,000 jackpot.
