Upgrade Gets Re-Commissioned in Norway

TEL AVIV: Norway’s TV2 has ordered a second season of the Armoza Formats game show Upgrade, which will see 48 new episodes produced for the local market by Strix.

Under the local title Oppgrader!, the show will air four days a week on TV2. Sigurd Sollien returns to host the second season.

TV2 also broadcast the Armoza Formats comedy format Comedians at Work, which just wrapped its first season in prime time.

Avi Armoza, the CEO of Armoza Formats, said, "Norway has been a great proving ground for the success of Upgrade as a daily broadcasted series, and has become an integral part of TV2’s schedule. The response to Upgrade in Norway has been tremendous, especially in regard to the positive impact that the show has had on the contestants’ lives. We are proud to be a part of putting smiles on the faces of both the participating families and the viewers."
