Netflix has released the first trailer for Escape the Undertaker, an upcoming WWE-themed special that allows viewers to control how the plot unfolds.
The trailer for the choose-your-own-adventure experience sees The New Day's Big E, Xavier Woods, and Kofi Kingston take on a series of supernatural challenges at The Undertaker's mansion, which has been transformed into an extreme haunted house, with viewers granted the authority to choose their fate through various options presented on screen.
The footage shows Taker unleashing the powers of his urn and warning the wrestling tag team that they must confront their "deepest darkest fears." One clip shows the trio entering the WWE legend's morgue, where Xavier bravely ventures further into the mists of the foggy room whilst audiences at home choose whether to follow him or stay with the others.
Netflix's Escape the Undertaker continues the streaming service's ongoing partnership with WWE. The landing hub for the interactive horror adventure states that it's 31 minutes in length, though it's unclear exactly how many different endings and variants of additional scenes are locked inside that runtime, just waiting to be uncovered.
This isn't the first time that Netflix has offered an interactive title to its subscribers — perhaps one of the most memorable additions to the choose-your-own-adventure genre was Black Mirror's Bandersnatch event. The film, released in 2018, allowed viewers to make choices that would lead them to different stories, with five main endings to unlock.
Escape The Undertaker will be released on Netflix on October 5 as part of this year's Netflix and Chills lineup, which features a skele-ton of hair-raising, door-locking, keep-the-lights-on treats for streamers this coming season. Other notable additions include the final season of Lucifer, the second season of Locke & Key, and Mike Flanagan's Midnight Mass.
