Talpa TV in the Netherlands has commissioned a local version of adventure reality format Over the Atlantic from Vincent TV Producties. The 7 x 60’ series will be called Alle Hens aan Dek and is set to premiere on SBS6 at 8:30pm on Monday 9 November 2020.

In Belgium, Over de Oceaan, the first season of the Flemish adaptation of the format is now available on Telenet’s VOD platform. Its linear premiere will be with terrestrial broadcaster Vier later in 2020. The 8 x 60’ series is produced by Woestijnvis.

“We are greatly looking forward to launching Alle Hens aan Dek later this year on SBS6 and are excited of this collaboration with Rabbit Films.” commented Erik de Winter, Head of Acquisitions of Talpa TV.

Vincent ter Voert, the Founder of Vincent TV Producties, stated: “Alle Hens Aan Dek is an original, yet quite simple, survival show, showcasing our celebrity casts’ battle against the unpredictable sea. They experienced an intense and beautiful journey which is both confronting and revealing on a personal level. We are very much looking forward for our audience to share and experience their epic voyage.”

Över Atlanten, the Swedish adaptation of the Rabbit Films original format Over the Atlantic, came out as a winner last night at the Ria Galan! The Ria Galan is the annual awards ceremony organised by the Swedish Film & TV Producers’ Association to promote the year’s best creators in Swedish television. The prize was given to the show’s production in the category of Performance of the Year. Specifically, it was the on-board production crew who were awarded for their tenacity, bravery and professionalism.

Jonathan Tuovinen, Head of International of Rabbit Films commented: “We are elated for Over the Atlantic’s success in Sweden! We send our biggest congratulations to the winners and the whole production crew. Filming an exciting adventure reality programme while sailing across the Atlantic Ocean for three weeks is no small feat!”

Over the Atlantic is a reality show where six celebrities are given a once in a lifetime challenge to sail across the Atlantic Ocean. In this groundbreaking show, a top-notch sailor is leading a team of celebrities with zero sailing experience to become masters of the sea. Week after week they learn how to sail, how to work as a team and how to fight the harsh ocean.

The victorious Swedish version of the show is produced by Mastiff (Banijay) for Kanal 5 (Discovery). The 2nd season of the 9 x 60 min show is currently on air, and a 3rd is already being planned.
