Originally created by Zeppelin, a Banijay Iberia company, "The Bridge" launched in Spain in 2017 and aired for two successful series on Movistar+’s #0 where it is known locally as "El Puente". The format also sold to France with M6.
It's the eighth deal the show has signed with a broadcast, following the US, UK, Australia, Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Tuesday’s Child Productions and The LEGO Group and Endemol Shine Group are the exclusive distributors of the format.
The series is one of the first program acquisitions to be announced by Salto, which was created by French broadcasters, TF1, M6 Group, and France Télévisions after its premier as an "official selection" at Berlinale Series 2020.
The program has been picked up by RTBF (French speaking Belgium), RTS (Switzerland), Discovery Kids (Middle East and North Africa), RTI (Ivory Coast) and M6 (France).
