Watch your back: Peacock has greenlit a new competition series, “Assassins,” based on the popular stealth game played among high school and college students.

Hailing from executive producer Scarlett Johansson, “Assassins” follows a group of players as they compete in a “ruthless game of cunning strategy and wit.” Per the synopsis, “From the moment they arrive, each player is assigned a target — one person they must eliminate before the season is out. But in this game, every hunter is also the hunted, and no one is ever safe. With shifting alliances and deception, only the most calculating player will survive to win it all.”
