South Korea’s Bloody Game lands first series commission with Sweden’s SVT

South Korea’s Bloody Game was originally created by MBC

South Korean survival format Bloody Game, originally created by MBC, has landed a first series commission in Sweden.

This new adaptation is produced by Meter/Jarowskij, part of Banijay Nordic, for Sweden’s public broadcaster, SVT.

It marks the third Nordic adaptation of the format, following Norway and Denmark, produced by Mastiff Norway and Nordisk Film TV Denmark respectively.

Bloody Game is a competition reality series where one survivor walks away with a cash prize. To win, they must outlast competitors who live together in a secret house, cut off from the outside world. Contestants face psychosocial and physical challenges, form alliances, manipulate rivals and engage in strategic conspiracies to avoid elimination.

Banijay Entertainment represents the format in nine European markets, including France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and across the Nordics.

Led by Madelene Hansson, Meter/Jarowskij is the producer behind local adaptations of non-scripted brands MasterChef, Deal or No Deal, Fortune Hotel, SAS: Who Dares Wins, and original title creations Double Up Love (w/t), Against All Odds, Wild Kids and Luxury Trap.
