Endemol Clinches New Deal for Wipeout

HILVERSUM, June 18:
Endemol International has been commissioned by an undisclosed network in the
Middle East for a local version of its obstacle-course format Wipeout.

The series will be
produced by Endemol Middle East at the international set for Wipeout in Argentina on the world’s largest TV obstacle
course. Wipeout has also been
picked up in Australia, Germany, Belgium, Greece, Norway and Denmark, and is
set to premiere in the U.S. on ABC on June 24.

Ziad Kebbi, the managing
director of Endemol Middle East, commented: “I’m very excited about Wipeout joining the ensemble of Endemol shows we’re
launching in the Middle East for the first time this year. This is a thrilling
and fun-filled format and I think audiences here are going to love every minute
of it.”
