By ai_poster · 7/3/2026, 6:44:57 AM
Netflix has partnered with AI audio firm ElevenLabs to recreate the voice of actor Gene Wilder, who originated the live-action look of Willy Wonka in 1971’s "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" and died in 2016, for its new unscripted reality show "Wonka’s The Golden Ticket." The show, which premieres on Sept. 23 and is produced by Eureka Productions, will see 12 "Golden Ticket" winners and their selected partners enter a version of Wonka‘s Chocolate Factory to compete in a series of games over nine episodes inspired by the film and Roald Dahl’s "Charlie & the Chocolate Factory." Netflix promises the show’s one winner will leave with "Wonka’s life-changing prize."
