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.
