The ultimate test of greed versus teamwork arrives when Got to Get Out premieres April 11, 2025, exclusively on Hulu. In this revolutionary competition series, 14 bold contestants live together in a lavish but inescapable mansion, where the prize pot grows by 1$ million. The twist? Players must decide whether to split the earnings fairly or risk everything by attempting a solo escape through the mansion’s heavily guarded front gate. Hosted by Simu Liu (Shang-Chi, Barbie), the show blends psychological tension, physical challenges, and jaw-dropping betrayals as alliances form and shatter in real time.
From reality TV legends to athletes and influencers, the eclectic cast includes Omarosa Manigault Newman (The Apprentice), Cynthia Bailey (RHOA), Spencer Pratt (The Hills), and Val Chmerkovskiy (Dancing with the Stars). With challenges designed to test trust and tempt treachery, Got to Get Out is Squid Game meets The Traitors—with a ticking cash clock raising the stakes every second.
Who is the Host
– Simu Liu as Host
Simu Liu brings his signature charisma and wit to Got to Get Out as the show’s mischievous overseer. Liu’s hosting style oscillates between encouraging coach and chaotic instigator, especially when taunting contestants about the mounting prize money they could lose. His background in martial arts (Shang-Chi) adds intensity to physical challenges, while his improv chops (Barbie) shine during tense negotiation moments.
Liu has teased that his role goes beyond typical hosting: “I’m like the mansion’s omniscient spirit—rewarding teamwork, but low-key rooting for drama.” Watch for his fourth-wall-breaking commentary when contestants plot their escapes, including a viral-worthy moment where he snacks on popcorn while two players nearly come to blows.
The full Contestants list
1. Athena Vas as Herself
The TikTok strategist (10M followers) enters as the show’s wildcard, using her puzzle-solving prowess to dominate mental challenges. Vas’s gameplay revolves around calculated alliances, but her poker face falters when the prize pot crosses $500K.
2. Omarosa Manigault Newman as Herself
The Apprentice villain returns to reality TV as the mansion’s resident master manipulator. Omarosa’s psychological warfare peaks when she convinces three players to simultaneously attempt escape—only to sabotage them.
3. Cynthia Bailey as Herself
The RHOA alumna plays the voice of reason… at first. Bailey’s shocking pivot to cutthroat tactics (including faking an injury to lure others into complacency) becomes the season’s most talked-about betrayal.
4. Kim Zolciak-Biermann as Herself
RHOA’s Zolciak-Biermann leans into her “don’t hate me because I’m rich” persona, clashing with Omarosa in a screaming match over—what else?—alleged stolen wigs.
5. Spencer Pratt as Herself
Reality TV’s favorite villain (and self-proclaimed “energy vampire”) weaponizes his infamy, convincing others he’s too lazy to escape—until he sprints for the gate in Episode 7.
6. Susan Noles as Herself
The Golden Bachelor’s breakout star becomes the house’s den mother… until she’s caught hoarding escape clues in her knitting basket.
7. Clare Crawley as Herself
The Bachelorette alum wears her heart on her sleeve, forming a doomed showmance with Val Chmerkovskiy that distracts both from the prize.
8. Val Chmerkovskiy as Himself
The DWTS pro uses his athleticism to crush physical challenges but falls victim to Clare’s romantic distractions—and Spencer’s mind games.
9. Demi Burnett as Herself
The Bachelor star’s chaotic energy leads to both genius plays (hacking the mansion’s PA system) and disaster (accidentally locking herself in a closet for 8 hours).
10. Rashad Jennings as Himself
The NFL vet emerges as the house’s moral compass—until the pot hits $750K, and he body-checks Steven Giannopoulos to steal an escape map.
11. Steven Giannopoulos as Himself
The fitness influencer’s “alpha” persona crumbles when he’s outmaneuvered by Jill Ashock in a high-stakes puzzle duel.
12. Jill Ashock as Herself
The survival expert (and Alone alum) dominates wilderness-based challenges but underestimates the mansion’s psychological traps.
13. Rob Roman as Himself
The escape-room designer thrives early by decoding the house’s secrets—until Kim Zolciak-Biermann falsely accuses him of cheating.
14. Steve Helling as Himself
The journalist (People) documents the chaos like a true outsider, but his neutrality vanishes when he finds Cynthia’s hidden alliance chart.
Gameplay Breakdown
- The Clock: Prize increases 1/second(max1M over 11.5 days)
- Challenges: Range from trivia to brutal obstacle courses (e.g., “The Gauntlet” forces players to crawl through laser grids)
- Escape Attempts: Would-be thieves must bypass motion sensors, guards, and traitorous allies
- Final Choice: Last episode forces remaining players to vote: split or steal
Why It’s Bingeworthy:
- Simu Liu’s Hosting: His playful taunting (“That’s $86,400 you just lost by napping!”) elevates the tension
- Unpredictable Cast: From Omarosa’s mind games to Rashad’s heel turn, no one plays clean
- Visual Spectacle: The mansion—boasting hallways that rearrange automatically—is a character itself
