Million Dollar Island makes its debut in Bulgaria
The groundbreaking adventure show was developed through a creative partnership with Monday Media. Along with the Netherlands, Belgium, the U.S., Australia, Romania, and the Middle East, Talpa Studios’ Million Dollar Island marks its next territory in Bulgaria. Ralf Bartoleit, CEO of bTV Media Group: “I am delighted that we have the opportunity to bring this successful global format to the Bulgarian market for the first time. The changes in bTV’s programming have been significant, and since the beginning of the year, we’ve seen excellent results with all the new shows that were launched in the spring season.” Sebastian van Barneveld, Director Global Distribution at Talpa Studios: “We’re very excited about our collaboration with bTV and CME on this adventurous social experiment. By introducing this format to Bulgaria, we not only strengthen the presence of our projects across Central and Eastern Europe (CEE region), but also demonstrate the format’s flexibility and adaptability in terms of structure and scheduling. We eagerly await Bulgaria’s unique take on Million Dollar Island. We’re sure it will feature lots of inspiring stories.” About Million Dollar Island Million Dollar Island is a groundbreaking social experiment where one hundred people try to stay on a remote desert island for two months for a chance at winning one million dollars. Surviving the harsh conditions with limited means isn’t the only challenge. Each contestant starts the adventure with a bracelet worth 10.000 dollars. While they’re on the island, contestants can gain and lose bracelets by competing in various games. They can also receive bracelets from other contestants. When someone gives up and decides to leave the island, they must give their bracelet(s) to a contestant who stays behind. On this show, alliances mean everything, and friendships are worth a fortune. Some contestants will become richer by winning games and inheriting bracelets, while those who lose and fail to collect new bracelets must eventually go home. By the last day, only a few contestants are left on the island. In a thrilling finale, they’ll each get their chance to cash in their bracelets in an exciting test of nerves. However, they can also lose everything at the last minute… |
