Talpa Studios & Studio Lambert Team for The Golden Elevators

Talpa Studios and Studio Lambert have partnered to co-produce The Golden Elevators in the U.S. and the U.K.

“The last time we collaborated with Jasper, the result was the U.S. and U.K. versions of The Traitors, which have been spectacularly successful on both sides of the Atlantic,” said Stephen Lambert, CEO of Studio Lambert. “We think we have lightning in a bottle for the second time with The Golden Elevators, a show that combines the joy of a quiz with a psychological drama of trust and betrayal. We can’t wait to find the right home for it in America and Britain.”

In The Golden Elevators, each round begins with a trivia question offering two possible answers, each linked to a different elevator. After choices have been discussed and made, one elevator ascends toward the summit and the cash prize, and the other plunges down, eliminating everyone inside.

The formats will be produced in Talpa Studios’ international production hub in Belgium.

“This outstanding new format combines quiz and strategy elements with a gripping psychological layer and a strong, simple visual identity,” said Jasper Hoogendoorn, CCO of Talpa Studios. “Add our hub strategy and the reunion with Stephen and his team, and you’re truly aiming for the top. John [de Mol], Stephen and I all believe in deceptively simple ideas that create genuine psychological depth and global appeal, and this powerful collaboration provides a strong platform to bring the format to the international market.”
