Rabbit Films Takes Nordic Adventure Reality Format Camp North Global
Rabbit Films has acquired worldwide distribution rights to Camp North (original title: Suuri seikkailu), marking the international rollout of the Finnish adventure reality format currently airing in primetime on Nelonen. Produced by Fremantle Finland and set in the cinematic landscapes of Finnish Lapland, the 10 x 90’ format follows 16 celebrities competing in a high-intensity wilderness challenge that blends physical endurance, social strategy and psychological gameplay. Filmed over four weeks, contestants must survive in primitive conditions without modern comforts, relying on resilience and adaptability to stay in the competition.

Originally launched in Finland in 2001, Camp North was revived in 2024 as a major primetime event, re-establishing itself as a flagship adventure reality brand in the market. The reboot has delivered two strong-performing seasons for Nelonen, attracting broad commercial audiences and combining nostalgic appeal with contemporary relevance. A third season is currently in post-production.

Jonathan Tuovinen, SVP International at Rabbit Films, said:Camp North hits a real sweet spot in the market right now. Buyers are looking for returnable formats that deliver scale and visual impact, but also authentic human stories. This format does both — it combines cinematic landscapes with a clear, structured competition and constantly evolving power dynamics.”
The format is designed for both local adaptations and hub production in Finnish Lapland, offering flexibility for broadcasters and platforms seeking premium adventure content.
Riina Kullas, CEO of Fremantle Finland, added: “The format has a proven ability to engage audiences through its mix of adventure, strategy and character-driven storytelling. Through this collaboration, we are exploring new ways to maximise the international potential of locally originated formats.”

The deal marks a first strategic partnership between Rabbit Films and Fremantle Finland, reflecting a broader push to unlock global opportunities for non-English-language IP. With Camp North, Rabbit Films continues to build its slate of scalable, returnable adventure formats, alongside titles such as Over the Atlantic, Ultimate Escape and The Ultimate Expedition.
