John Cena's Surprising ‘Guilty Pleasure' Is a Netflix Reality Show and He's Hoping for ‘A Cameo'
John Cena has done some really impressive things during his decades-long career, but his current aspiration is to land a cameo on his favorite Netflix reality show. He made that admission to PEOPLE at the Netflix Upfronts in New York City on May 23.
When Cena was asked if he had a "guilty pleasure" show that he loved to watch, the former WWE champion answered, "Loves me some Secret Millionaire." The show he is talking about is Million Dollar Secret.
In it, one contestant starts the show with $1 million. The other 11 pursue the "secret millionaire" over the countryside in hopes of capturing them and keeping the money for themselves.
Million Dollar Secret premiered on Netflix in 2025, while a second season dropped on the streaming giant on Apr. 15, 2026.
"I think it's a sleeper," Cena said of the show, which has been considered a smash hit. "Folks should check it out. I love the show."
Million Dollar Secret hasn't been renewed for Season 3 yet, but if that does happen, Cena is hoping for "a cameo of some sorts in the future."
So far, things are looking good for the future of the show and that should make viewers happy. After all, in the weeks following the Season 2 finale, the call for another season has been loud.
On Reddit, a forum dedicated to the Netflix reality series started discussing a renewal weeks ago with one big fan writing, "If it was up to me, this show would have 10+ seasons."
Another wrote, "I think there's a good chance. Netflix is struggling with game shows, but this one seems to do well enough at least in the US. I was more worried after S1 because the production costs seem high."
"I started on season 2 and I was absolutely obsessed from the first episode. This show is pure joy to watch. I liked season 1 too," a third shared.
