Format

Talpa Studios, Kinetic Content, and Signal.Stream have confirmed the continuation of their creative alliance with the launch of a new survival reality format, "Survive Your Family". a premium survival format that tests physical endurance and emotional loyalty. Families are separated into two groups: while two members are dropped into the wilderness without tools, the remaining relatives stay at base camp to complete challenges that earn supplies for their loved ones. The format is set to premiere in the Netherlands this April on SBS6, with Signal.Stream handling the Dutch production.

Wouter van der Pauw, founder of Signal.Stream, explains the thinking behind "Survive Your Family": “'After No Way Back', participants kept telling us it was the most intense experience of their lives, but impossible to explain at home. That insight stayed with us and led to 'Survive Your Family'. We want to bring that emotional intensity into a shared family experience. By putting family members in opposing roles, the format goes beyond physical survival and exposes trust, responsibility and sacrifice, creating deeper - and more relatable - entertainment.”

Double Commission In Hungary
Simultaneously, Talpa Studios has strengthened its presence in the Hungarian market with two major deals at RTL Hungary. The broadcaster has commissioned the local debut of the reality chase format "Catch Us If You Can" and ordered a second season of the hit series "Most Wanted". Both shows are co-created by Signal.Stream and Talpa Studios.

The recommission of "Most Wanted" follows an exceptional first season that achieved a 24.5% average market share, becoming the most-watched format in Hungary during autumn 2025. "Catch Us If You Can", a high-stakes celebrity chase across Europe, will launch in 2026 with 10 daily episodes.

Sebastian van Barneveld, Director Global Distribution at Talpa Studios, commented: “'Most Wanted' is a true event format: it reaches platforms so quickly that it feels almost live, while still trending on social media and driving audiences straight into the show. Having already grown into a powerful streaming brand on Joyn and Videoland in Germany and the Netherlands, it’s exciting to see the format now perform at the same high level on linear television, with many territories poised to follow. 'Catch Us If You Can' is built on the same fast, social-driven discovery principles and has delivered strong viewership from the outset. As our first international sale, it is a real credit to RTL Hungary - who are true partners recognizing proven successes early and localize and deliver them with exceptional care and quality.”
