TGC Global Entertainment (TGC GE) has acquired the international rights to a brand-new reality competition format – "Code Red: The Lighthouse" from Norwegian broadcaster NRK.
Bente Sagplads, head of international formats and program sales at NRK said: “'Code Red: The Lighthouse' is a truly Nordic take on the survival competition genre – cinematic, character-driven, visually striking, emotionally rich and very much rooted in timely themes. Partnering with TGC Global Entertainment allows us to present this fresh perspective to international markets with a team who understands how to make distinctive ideas travel through deep market knowledge and sheer passion for bold concepts."
"Code Red: The Lighthouse", ("Kode Rød: Fyret") is billed as blending raw survival realism with character-driven storytelling in a cinematic Nordic setting. The broadcaster recently revealed the show as a brand new 12 x 50-minute series developed in house at NRK with the first season is set to launch in Spring 2026.
The show explores human behaviour, trust, leadership, and morality under pressure as audiences follow every step with ten celebrities stranded on a remote island with nothing but a lighthouse and each other.
Cecilia Ingebrigtsen, TGC GE’s sales and acquisitions agent for Europe and the Nordics, said: “We are honoured to be representing this new and exciting reality competition from NRK and looking forward launching 'Code Red: The Lighthouse' to the international market at MIPCOM. It is well known that NRK is a major player in the Nordics, with a well-deserved and earned reputation for creating great formats with strong storytelling. 'Code Red: The Lighthouse' will have a great global traction and it will be fascinating watching this roll out around the world."
