Impossible Challenge (8×60′) comes from São Paulo-based ELO Company and follows three young scientists lost in the Amazon and Jalapão with no map who must use “science and creativity” to find a way out.

Participants will go on a 48-hour journey in which they use their experience and skills to transform materials found along the way into devices that can somehow help them.

YouTube stars Gusta Stockler and Mario Ruiz will be the hosts of the Brazilian and Latin American versions respectively. It is directed by Maria Carolina Telles and executive produced by André Antunes, and will begin airing on July 31.
