Yahoo Finanza LES TRAÎTRES: Karine Vanasse to host on Noovo the global reality TV phenomenon
She will also helm the English-Canadian adaptation
THE TRAITORS: CANADA that will air on CTV
MONTREAL, June 6, 2023 /CNW/ - Karine Vanasse is set to make her Noovo debut as host of the Quebec version of the world-renowned reality show LES TRAÎTRES, which will also be adapted for English Canada as THE TRAITORS: CANADA on CTV.
"We are delighted to welcome Karine Vanasse to Bell Media to host a mysterious and unique game show concept that has enjoyed great international success. This major production with two sets led by the same host and crew will definitely showcase our local talent nationwide," said Suzane Landry, Vice-President, Content Development, Programming and News at Bell Media.
It is rare to see someone host the same show on two different networks, which exemplifies the type of unique opportunity that Bell Media offers Quebec artists. This pan-Canadian exposure serves to showcase Quebec's rich cultural and artistic talents to a national audience.
"I am very proud to take part in the Quebec and Canadian versions of this concept launched for local audiences," said Karine Vanasse. "The production team and the game's collaborative tone quickly convinced me to dive into this project with them!"
A true international success, the concept brings 18 strangers to a majestic mansion to carry out group missions to win ingots for their common booty, which could reach up to $100,000. However, some will be assigned as traitors, whose role is to sabotage the missions and "kill" a team member every night so that they end up as the only ones with the loot. Given that deceit is the only path to victory, will the faithful team members identify the traitors in time?
Jennifer Askin, SVP North America at All3Media International commented, "I am thrilled to join forces with our new 'faithful' partner Bell Media on both the French and English Canadian versions of The Traitors. This global format phenomenon has time and time again delivered incredibly tense, must-watch viewing for audiences around the world, and I have every faith both Noovo's and CTV's audiences will be completely captivated by this brilliantly addictive intelligent reality series."
Originally conceived in the Netherlands by IDTV, an All3Media company, the format was further developed with the RTL Creative Unit and produced by IDTV. All3Media International represents format rights for The Traitors.
In collaboration with Bell Media, the production company Entourage is adapting the popular format for both CTV and Noovo.
