VTM recruits Banijay Belgium to adapt SAS: Who Dares Wins challenge format

Minnow Films’ SAS: Who Dares Wins first aired on Channel 4

Belgian broadcaster VTM has commissioned a local version of Banijay reality format SAS: Who Dares Wins.

Known locally as Special Forces: Wie Durft Wint, the VTM version will be produced by Banijay Belgium.

The show will see 11 celebrities take part in demanding challenges based on the selection process used by elite special forces.

The celebrity recruits, which include singer and presenter Koen Wauters, ex-basketball player Ann Wauters and politician Georges-Louis Bouchez will head to Morocco to face challenges overseen by four ex-special forces operators.

SAS: Who Dares Wins was created in 2015 by Minnow Films for Channel 4 in the UK.

Banijay holds the global distribution rights and this commission in Flanders marks the ninth adaptation of the format, with local versions already produced in territories such as the US, Netherlands, Denmark and Australia.
