Talpa’s The Floor enters Latin America with Argentina’s Canal 13

Dutch quiz show format The Floor

Argentinean broadcaster Canal 13 has ordered the first Latin American version of Dutch quiz show format The Floor following a deal with Talpa, which has also sold it into Hungary.

Set to air later this year, the format is being adapted by Buenos Aires-based prodco Kuarzo Entertainment.

The Hungarian adaptation, meanwhile, marks the tenth for the show and will air on RTL Hungary later this year, with Scripted Productions on board to produce.

The format was picked up by Rai in Italy, Fox in the US, Dogan Media-owned Romanian network Kanal D, France Télévisions, Sat.1 in Germany, Spain’s Atresmedia and Novyi Kanal in Ukraine in 2023.

The Floor sees 100 contestants face off in quiz duels on a giant LED floor divided into 100 squares, each representing its own field of knowledge. The goal is to conquer the floor and take home a cash prize.

RTL4 in the Netherlands began airing the original last year and the Dutch version is heading into its second season.

Pablo Codevilla, programming manager at Canal 13, said: “This captivating and challenging gameshow, known for its fast-paced nature and thrilling high-stakes duels, promises an engaging experience for our audience.”

Peter Kolosi, chief content officer at RTL Hungary, said: “Embracing innovation and entertainment, we eagerly anticipate bringing a new dimension of excitement to viewers of RTL Hungary.”
