The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Deal or No Deal Island is an American reality competition series that aired on NBC from February 26, 2024, to March 25, 2025. Hosted by Joe Manganiello, it is a spin-off of the game show Deal or No Deal. The series was cancelled in December 2025 after two seasons. The show features contestants competing in physical and mental challenges in an island setting to retrieve briefcases containing cash values. The winner of the challenge selects a contestant to play the "Banker's Challenge"—a game of Deal or No Deal where they must aim to make a "good" offer on their chosen briefcase to avoid elimination and to add money to a group prize pot. The last contestant remaining plays a high-stakes game of Deal or No Deal to determine their winnings, with the largest prize being a jackpot formed from the total value of the offers received throughout the season, which is valued upwards of $10,000,000.
