The Mole was a reality show competition where a group of people worked together to earn money for a pot that only one of them would win at the end of the show. The catch? One of the group was a mole, hired by the production team to secretly keep as much money as possible from being won. Thus, the whole crux of staying in the game was staying on top of who was the mole. It encouraged lies, manipulation, and was a one of a kind show that was adopted by nations the world over (and is still running in some). An even larger part of the fun was leaving the viewing audience in the dark as to who the mole was, encouraging scores of stay at home sleuths to play themselves.

In America, the mole never really got a chance to become a household name. With only 5 seasons spread out over a period of about 10 years (2 of which were shorter and featured celebrity casts) and less promotional opportunity than it needed, the mole never had the chance to become the television juggernaut it fully had the potential to be.

With a cult fanbase who's hungry for more, and with the introduction of streaming services and more online forum communities than ever, this is a prime time to give the mole another shot to shine. With the ability to more easily go back and rewatch an episode, the chance for home and internet sleuths to dig into the mystery is greater than ever. The decision to reintroduce the mole to english speaking audiences would be a smart one, one that would be beneficial to both viewers and production companies alike.
