Much like the ’80s game saw players guiding a frog across a busy road, the Frogger game series will see contestants trying to cross a variety of obstacles in an effort to make it to the other side. The trailer for the show has very strong similarities to other competition series like American Ninja Warrior and Wipeout, but with set pieces more like the original game than anything else.
You can check out the official trailer for the new series below:
“The show Frogger brings to life this popular franchise and supersizes it on an epic course,” reads a synopsis for the series, courtesy of Peacock. “Audiences and contestants alike will be transported into a wild, whimsical Frogger world, filled with all the simple but challenging elements of the mega-hit from Konami. Contestants from across the country will test their talent in a competition requiring skill, strength, strategy, and problem-solving smarts. Who will have what it takes to be America’s finest Frogger and jump away with $100,000?
