EXCLUSIVE: Survivor remains a mainstay on CBS and is returning to the BBC this year, and now distributor Banijay Rights has struck a deal to send the adventure reality format back into Argentina.
Paramount-owned local network Telefe will produce a new version entitled Survivor, Expedición Robinson. The order comes 22 years after the show was first made in the country.
“We are thrilled to bring the global TV phenomenon Survivor to Argentina,” said Guillermo Pendino, VP of Content and Programming Telefe & Chilevisión. “This has been an exciting format to produce, and audiences here will love it.”
Survivor turned 25 last year, making it one of the oldest reality TV formats still selling widely on the market. The Charlie Parsons-created show has a total of more than 50 versions and 360 seasons around the world, with CBS on its 44th season.
Notably, it’s returning to the UK, where Banijay-owned Remarkable Entertainment is making a version for the BBC. In Latin America, the show is coming back in Colombia after 15 years on RCN and a French-Canadian version for Noovo launched this spring.
Srurvivor takes contests to remote locations, splits them in two tribes and has them fight for immunity and other advantages through daily challenges. The eventual winner goes home with a title and a prize.
The Telefe agreement was brokered by Michelle Wasserman, SVP for Lat Am, U.S. Hispanic and Brazil for Banijay Rights, who said: “Combining adventure, strategy and real-life jeopardy, Survivor continues to be one of the world’s most renowned formats. We are delighted to secure this deal with our partners at Telefe and bring this amazing show to Argentinian viewers.”

K.J. Yossman Australian indie WFTN Entertainment – the company behind hit blue-light shows including “Bondi Vet” and “Paramedics” – is hoping to lure unscripted creatives Down Under in a new hiring drive, Variety can reveal. WFTN says it has already identified 20 roles it needs to fill – including editors, producers, showrunners, post producers, field producers and production managers – and is prepared to spend up to seven figures to snap up a host of U.K. creatives. That sum will go towards flights, accommodation and work permits as well as salaries. The indie says that due to growing demand – it reports an uptick in commissions – plus the post-COVID production boom Australia is currently experiencing means it is becoming increasingly hard to fill those roles domestically – which is why Steve Oemcke, WTFN Group’s co-founder and CCO, is now casting his eyes across to the U.K.
