The second season premiered on The CW on 10 October 2021, as a part of the network's fall 2021 schedule.[3] On 18 October 2021, the series was pulled from the network's schedule after two episodes (the network aired the remaining episodes during its summer lineup),[4][5] and was replaced by repeats of Masters of Illusion.[6]
The series revolves around eleven people who are dropped into an '80s inspired lakeside lodge where they learn it's not the Summer Camp they had envisioned, but a Killer Camp with a secret murderer among them.
The contestants are tasked with earning money whilst simultaneously decoding the killer's identity before they end up "dead" themselves.[7]
