Gretel has already teased fans with some playful advice: “Darlings, I have only three tips for these deluded ‘individuals’ as they come to play in my mischievous mansion; leave your good self at home and pack the naughty you, give yourself permission to feel good being bad, and never forget that although you may win the money, I will always win the game.”
From the trailer, it seems that the show will be anything but boring, with Gretel hinting that it will be “murderous” — setting the stage for an intense and unpredictable season.
