Netflix’s reboot of The Mole excited diehard fans of the reality TV show from the early 2000s. Viewers loved the deception of contestants like Jacob Hacker and Avori Henderson. Although fans were shocked pilot Joi Schweitzer couldn’t figure out Kesi Nesblett was the mole, leading some to speculate The Mole is scripted, viewers were happy for Will Richardson winning the prize money. But after the show filmed throughout Australia and aired, what happened to The Mole cast back in the real world? Here’s what the twelve contestants Will, Avori, Casey, Dom, Greg, Jacob, Joi, Kesi, Osei, Pranav, Samara, Sandy are up to in 2023 since the show aired in October 2022.
What Happened to Will After Winning Netflix’s The Mole Season 1
The Chris Hemsworth as Thor lookalike never wavered in competing as hard as he could on The Mole. William “Will” Richardson won the $101,500 prize money after correctly identifying Kesi as the one secretly sabotaging missions throughout the show.

After the win, Will stayed pretty tight-lipped in media interviews shortly after the final episode of The Mole aired. However, on January 17, Will let fans know he’s starring in a new Netflix reality TV show called Perfect Match.

The lifestyle brand manager became an influencer like the famous clients he works for as his Instagram reached nearly 40,000 followers. His clout will only get bigger once the dating show Perfect Match releases on Netflix on Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14). The show brings back “Netflix’s most eligible singles” from its various reality TV shows to try their luck at romance.
Will also looks to be enjoying some of his prize money traveling in first class or on a private jet with his pet dog. The fan-favorite “Viking” is also enjoying all of the attention he’s getting from the fairer sex, including flirting with Latina beauty and influencer dentist Macarena Leichtle. However, Will appears to still be very single at this point in time.
