Banijay Rights Inks Deals for Survivor in CEE

Banijay Rights has secured deals for two new adaptations of the adventure reality show Survivor in Central and Southeastern Europe.

United Media-owned Nova TV in Croatia and Nova S in Serbia will debut the format in late 2022. TV Markíza in Slovakia and TV Nova in the Czech Republic will also air a new adaptation of the format. Acun Medya is on board as local producer for both versions.

Survivor has been produced in 48 territories since its launch in 1997. The format sees contestants divided into two tribes as they fight in daily challenges for immunity and other advantages. After each immunity challenge, one team must eliminate one of their own.

Samia Moktar, VP for CEE and airlines at Banijay Rights, said: “Survivor has long been a global television hit, but these new versions prove this format continues to have fresh and broad appeal for broadcasters worldwide. We’re excited to be working with our local broadcast and production partners across the CEE region on what are set to be exceptional adaptations of this show.”
