Nordic Entertainment Group (NENT Group), the Nordic region’s leading streaming company announces Fort Boyard as its first own production in Poland. The tremendously popular family entertainment show returns to Poland after 10 years and is NENT Group’s first content reveal since the company announced its launch of its Viaplay streaming service in Poland. 48 well-known polish celebrities will participate in the Fort Boyard games on the France Atlantic coast.

NENT Group is launching its Viaplay streaming service in Poland later this year and plan to produce both scripted and non-scripted local content that appeal to the polish audience. Fort Boyard is the first local production to be announced and with its broad appeal and targeting of the whole family, it is expected to be the success establishing Viaplay firmly on the polish market.

Filippa Wallestam, NENT Group Chief Content Officer: “Our ambition is to launch locally produced shows, both drama and unscripted, as one of the cornerstones in our Viaplay offering in Poland. A legendary format like Fort Boyard that we have revived successfully in other markets, is the perfect first step to capture the local audiences. We are very excited about bringing this power format back to Poland and can’t wait to reveal the rest of the upcoming local slate/offering.”

Fort Boyard is produced by Shine Endemol Poland, a part of Banijay and will premiere during the autumn on NENT Group’s streaming service Viaplay. Participants and hosts are yet to be announced.
