Prank Encounters is an American horror-themed hidden camera television series. It is a prank show recorded with hidden cameras. Each episode pairs two members of the public, strangers to one another, who are unwittingly introduced to each other by show actors, under the ruse of a tryout for a new job. Subsequently, a sequence of scares orchestrated by Gaten Matarazzo occur in order to scare the participants for comedic value, with Matarazzo adapting the prank via headsets fed to the actors on the fly.

The first 8-episode season debuted on October 25, 2019, on the streaming service Netflix. A second season was released on April 1, 2021, and consisted of 7 episodes.
