Format

Media and entertainment powerhouse Banijay has acquired the global distribution rights to new ITV1 and ITVX reality entertainment series, The Fortune Hotel.

In a deal negotiated by Banijay Rights with Tuesday’s Child - the producer behind hit competition reality format - Banijay will represent the format, with distribution arm, Banijay Rights, handling finished tape sales for the new primetime series, which invites viewers into a luxury Caribbean resort filled with glamour, opulence and deception.

Hosted by Stephen Mangan, the 8 x 60’ series will see 10 pairs of contestants arrive at The Fortune Hotel, where they will each be given an all-important briefcase.
However, only one plays home to the ultimate cash jackpot of £250,000… Eight are empty, and one contains the dreaded Early Checkout Card – whichever pair is left holding that at the end of each show will see their stay brought to a dramatic, and premature, end.
