The Fifty Being Adapted for Telemundo

The Fifty (Les Cinquante) is being produced by EndemolShine Boomdog for the U.S. Hispanic market, marking the first international version of the reality competition.

In the U.S. Hispanic version for Telemundo, known as Los 50, stars will come together to live while competing against each other in a relentless and unpredictable game. As they face challenges posed by the masked game master, they must make alliances and develop strategies to avoid elimination.

With each game, they play in the hopes of adding money to the grand prize, which can total up to $350,000. In the end, only one player will walk away with the cash and, in a first for Telemundo, one fan of the show will also win a part of the prize pot.

The original was created by Banijay Productions France.

Alejandro Rincón, CEO at EndemolShine Boomdog, said: “It’s the perfect time to produce The Fifty for the U.S. Hispanic market as it entertains and taps into the desire for psychological game shows, as well as connecting celebrities and their fans. We are excited to be the first country to add our local twist to this innovative IP.”

Lucas Green, chief content officer of operations at Banijay, added: “It is fantastic to mark the very first international version of The Fifty with EndemolShine Boomdog. Producing an adaptation that is sure to have audiences of all ages on the edge of their seats, it is interactive, full of twists and a testament to the creativity within Banijay. We firmly believe this is just the start for the reality competition format, which was initially supported off-the-ground by our global Creative Fund.”
