Tim Mutimer, the CEO of Banijay Rights, and Julia Dick, consultant executive producer at Castaway Television Productions, talk to TV Formats’ Anna Carugati about the Survivor format and what the plans are for the franchise looking ahead.

Last July, Banijay Group announced that it had raised €365 million ($416 million) with plans to use some of the capital to finance the acquisition of Castaway Television Productions, the creator and rights owner of the hit format Survivor. The acquisition brought to the Banijay Rights catalog the long-running reality format, which has aired in a slew of markets around the world.
