Banijay Entertainment announced premium adventure reality hit, "Shaolin Heroes," is heading to France for M6. Produced by Endemol France, part of Banijay France, this marks the format’s fourth international adaptation, following a successful recommission in Denmark, and strong launches in Belgium and the Netherlands earlier this year.
Jean-Louis Blot, CEO Endemol France says: “Shaolin Heroes is not just another adventure show, it’s a breathtaking human experience. We’re immersing celebrities in a world where strength isn’t measured by fame or fortune, but by humility, resilience, and mental focus. It’s raw, emotional, and deeply inspiring; exactly the kind of content audiences are looking for today.”
Lucas Green, Chief Content Officer, Operations, Banijay Entertainment adds: “Since its bold debut in Denmark, Shaolin Heroes continues to attract international interest with its rich visual style, authentic representation, and universal themes of transformation and resilience. It speaks directly to the challenges of our fast-paced world, and given its track record, we are confident Endemol France will deliver another powerful adaptation.”
Originally created by Banijay Nordic’s Danish label, Metronome, the format has captivated viewers by surpassing TV2’s primetime slot average by 31%. The French version will see seven celebrities embark on a life-changing journey to master the ancient disciplines of the Shaolin Warrior Monks. Stripped of everyday distractions and guided by two Shaolin Masters, contestants will face intense challenges, testing their physical and mental boundaries, all while uncovering facets of themselves they never knew existed. Who will possess the strength, focus, and spirit to become a true Shaolin Hero?
Endemol France, part of Banijay France, is a non-scripted juggernaut having produced global hits such as Star Academy, LEGO® Masters, Drag Race, LOL: Last One Laughing, and the recently announced travel format, The Best Holiday Destination for M6.
