Connected Renewed in Finland

Armoza Formats’ docu-reality format Connected has been commissioned for a sixth season in Finland on discovery+.

The fifth season, which featured a celebrity cast, marked the best non-scripted launch for discovery+ Finland to date. Additionally, the ninth season of the hit format recently launched in Israel and began airing on HOT VOD, also featuring a celebrity cast.

Connected gives cameras to four men or women who don’t know each other to use to film their lives. Through the cameras, five parallel stories unfold and gradually become connected as each participant experiences transformative life changes and journeys of self-discovery.

Pete Paavolainen, managing director at ITV Studios Finland, said: “We are proud to continue with this unique format that had its first launch here already ten years ago. It shows that appealing characters and real stories are still an unbeatable combination.”

Avi Armoza, CEO of Armoza Formats, said: “Connected has been successful because of its unique method of sharing personal stories in an incredibly real way, bringing to light today’s most celebrated form of storytelling, in which individuals share their lives through the camera. The format allows unique access into the lives of both celebrities and the everyday person and we look forward to seeing more of this compelling storytelling from Discovery Finland and ITV Studios Finland.”
