Bridge of Lies Being Localized in Spain

BBC Studios has licensed STV Studios’ game-show format Bridge of Lies to the Spanish public broadcaster Televisión Española’s free-to-air La 1 channel.

BOXFISH is producing the local version in Spain. TV presenter Paula Vázquez will front the Spanish treatment.

Bridge of Lies sees teams of contestants competing for cash by crossing a bridge made up of stepping stones across the studio floor. Each stepping stone has a different option, and the players must try to get from A to B by stepping on the truths and avoiding the lies or risk falling off the bridge and out of the game.

André Renaud, senior VP of global format sales at BBC Studios, said: “We’ve seen a growing interest in our catalog from Spanish-speaking markets recently, and this commission of Bridge of Lies shows how a solid gameshow can travel. I’m delighted to be working again with TVE, and I know that BOXFISH and Paula Vázquez will bring the same fun and tension of Bridge of Lies to Spanish audiences later this year.”

David Mortimer, managing director of STV Studios, said: “When we created Bridge of Lies, we knew we had developed something special—a format that is not only highly entertaining and competitive but is also universally appealing. We’re thrilled that viewers in Spain will soon be enjoying their own version of what has quickly become a hit series in the U.K.”

Edi Walter, CEO of BOXFISH Spain, said: “When we discovered Bridge of Lies, we loved it. It is such a fresh and powerful contest that we are sure that viewers will enjoy it and have a lot of fun playing from home. We are happy to have Paula Vázquez as the presenter of the Spanish version, and we are proud to be able to work together with TVE and BBC Studios, two of the most emblematic public television broadcasters in Europe.”
