Something Special has signed an option deal for Battle in the Box<\/em> with ITV Studios for France, Australia, New Zealand and Israel.<\/p>\n The comedic competition and reality game show hybrid sees two celebrity pairs live in an empty box specially designed with movable walls. They must conquer physical and mental challenges in order to win special prizes and coveted floor space. Winning the challenges expands their living area and shrinks their opponents\u2019.<\/p>\n Battle in the Box<\/em> was created by Korea\u2019s NMedia and is represented globally by Something Special. This new deal follows previously announced deals with Fremantle for Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, the Netherlands, Belgium and Portugal, and with UKTV for the U.K.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s extraordinary to see the huge international response to Battle in the Box<\/em>, which we instantly loved and couldn\u2019t wait to take globally,\u201d said Praise ChanMi Shin, VP and head of sales for Something Special. \u201cAnd now our partners at ITV Studios are taking this exciting show further and building on its success. We look forward to seeing how each country adds its own touch to this hilarious series.\u201d<\/p>\n Ella Umansky, VP of format acquisitions at ITV Studios, said, \u201cWe\u2019re excited to be taking out such a fun, creative format alongside Something Special. It\u2019s a simple but hilarious concept that translates everywhere. Celebrities are used to taking up space, but Battle in the Box<\/em> takes things right back to basics; they\u2019ll have to earn every home comfort, including the floor space.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Something Special has signed an option deal for Battle in the Box with ITV Studios for France, Australia, New Zealand and Israel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":10092,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[2984,3485,173,3486,3487,2158],"class_list":["post-10091","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-battle-in-the-box","tag-ella-umansky","tag-itv-studios","tag-nmedia","tag-praise-chanmi-shin","tag-something-special","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
