Sweden’s TV4 checks in to The Fortune Hotel as format gets first international adaptation

UK strategy gameshow format The Fortune Hotel is heading to TV4 in Sweden

TV4 in Sweden has ordered the first international adaptation of UK strategy gameshow format The Fortune Hotel.

To be produced by Banijay label Meter/Jarowskij (Good Luck Guys), it sees 10 pairs of contestants check-in to a luxury resort where they take part in a high-stakes battle of wits to win a suitcase full of cash.

The format was originally created and produced by Tuesday’s Child for ITV and ITVX in the UK last year, with a second season due soon. Banijay Rights is handling distribution.

Helen Greatorex, head of format acquisitions, Banijay Entertainment, said: “Following its success in the UK, and with a second season already in the works, The Fortune Hotel has proven to masterfully balance suspense, entertainment, and drama.

“Given its previous performance, it’s great to see it begin its international journey in Sweden, with more deals on the horizon.”

Niklas Vestberg, head of formats and development, TV4, said: “We look forward to bringing the luxurious and captivating world of The Fortune Hotel to TV4, where anything can happen. It is a perfect fit for our programming and we are positive it will be a must-watch for our audiences.”
