    Comments Off on Banijay’s Reality Competition, The Fifty, Is Adapted For The First Time For The US Hispanic Market

    Content powerhouse, Banijay, today announces The Fifty (Les Cinquante) will be adapted for the US Hispanic market. Produced by EndemolShine Boomdog, part of Banijay Americas, for Telemundo, Los 50 is the first international version of the reality competition created by Banijay Productions France.

    In the US Hispanic version, known as Los 50, stars will come together in a competition like no other.  They will live together in an exotic hacienda while competing against each other in a relentless and unpredictable game.  As they face challenges posed by the masked game master, they will have to make alliances and develop strategies to avoid elimination.  With each game, they play in the hopes of adding money to the grand prize which can total up to $350,000.  In the end, only one player will walk away with the cash and, in a first for Telemundo, one fan of the show will also win a part of the prize pot.

    Alejandro Rincón, CEO at EndemolShine Boomdog says: “It’s the perfect time to produce The Fifty for the US Hispanic market as it entertains and taps into the desire for psychological gameshows, as well as connecting celebrities and their fans. We are excited to be the first country to add our local twist to this innovative IP.”

    Lucas Green, Chief Content Officer, Operations at Banijay adds: “It is fantastic to mark the very first international version of The Fifty with EndemolShine Boomdog. Producing an adaptation which is sure to have audiences of all ages on the edge of their seats, it is interactive, full of twists and a testament to the creativity within Banijay. We firmly believe this is just the start for the reality competition format, which was initially supported off-the-ground by our global Creative Fund.”

    Created in 2022 by Banijay Productions France for W9, the show not only improved the channel’s ratings by 48% but also became its best premiere since 2016, and the most watched programme on streamer 6 Play.

    EndemolShine Boomdog’s credits include MasterChef Mexico and Latino; La Casa de los Famosas and Are You For Real?; as well as scripted series, Subete a Mi Moto, for Prime Video; Nicky Jam: El Ganador for Netflix; International Emmy winner, El Vato, for NBCUniverso; and Todo Por Lucy for Prime Video.

However, only one individual is telling the truth, but who is it? That is up to the three famous guests to figure out. Known as the ‘fake hunters’, the celebrities, through questions and intuition, must put their pride, intelligence, and audacity on the line as they decide who is telling the truth and who is a master of deception. Representing different sections of the studio audience, the celebrity is aiming to collect as many points as possible by correctly identifying the person telling the truth. A person sitting within the winning ‘fake hunter’s’ section will then be in with a chance of winning the huge sum of 50 thousand pesos.

    Alejandro Rincón, CEO Endemol Shine Boomdog says: “We are excited to continue our successful partnership with Televisa with our latest joint production effort, Are You For Real? It’s truly the perfect show for the entire family to enjoy together this summer and find out who is real and who is not.”

We’re thrilled to have been able to help bring this epic guessing game format to life, with support from the Banijay Creative Fund.”

    Leonardo Pasquinelli, Managing Director, Endemol Shine Italy comments: “I am proud of my team for developing a unique and original offering. We hope to see the format travelling around the world and becoming a household name like Your Face Sounds Familiar and Deal or No Deal!”

    Amongst those ready to sort the truths from the lies are actors Andrea Legarreta, Paul Stanley, Erika Buenfil, and Ricardo Margaleff, as well as comedian Mau Nieto, and model and presenter Tania Rincón.

    Endemol Shine Boomdog creates high-quality content including hit non-scripted shows such as MasterChef Mexico, La Casa de Los Famosos, and Nailed it Mexico! As well as an exciting slate of scripted projects such as Todo Por Lucy and the upcoming adaptation of The Beautiful Life.
