Yesterday, Talpa Studios confirmed that RTL Hungary has acquired the rights to produce a local version of the gameshow The Jump. The commission was revealed by the channel last week, as CEETV reported earlier.

Main channel RTL will be airing a daily primetime version of the show produced by Scripted Productions and Talpa in the Netherlands.

Péter Kolosi, Chief Content Officer of RTL Hungary, said: "We are excited to announce the upcoming launch of the first Hungarian adaptation of a collaboration between Talpa Studios and RTL4 in the Netherlands. The Hungarian version of this gameshow was produced in Hilversum, on a stunning set on top of an extremely long and impressive bridge. We take great pride in bringing this unique concept to Hungary, offering audiences an opportunity to be part of an exhilarating and suspenseful journey.”

Mark van Achterberg, Managing Director Talpa Studios, added: "It was a pleasure working together with the Hungarian team on this successful production, marking the first time that RTL Hungary co-produced an entertainment show in the Netherlands. The show blends technical innovation – a trademark of Talpa Studios – together with a physically challenging quiz in a unique way. The format is perfect for our production hub, as we only needed foreign contestants and hosts to visit our studio. This is a testament not only to our pricing but also to the high quality and experience we provide, aligning with our strategy as an independent global production studio.”

Barbara Hamori, producer Scripted Productions, commented: "Every project is an opportunity to learn, to figure out problems and challenges, to invent and reinvent. The Jump is the most monumental, heroic, still funny and intriguing format I have met in recent years. The fear of failing and falling sharpens the contestants' minds and adrenalin flush drives the quiz show to its maximum."

The format premiered on RTL4 in the Netherlands ten days ago, scoring 1.1 million viewers and 36.6% share in the 25-54 demo.
