No Way Back, Talpa Studios’ brand-new adventure reality show, where a group of fearless adventurers embarks on a grueling trail through Norway’s rugged nature, is on the road to success. Last week, the first episode scored great numbers on SBS6 in the Netherlands. With an average market share of 17,3% in the 25-59 demo (delayed viewing included), a promising tone was set for the series.
The show is a favorite among on-demand viewers: a significant 23% (25-59) watched the show later, highlighting its strong appeal for flexible viewing. No Way Back also marks the successful beginning of the recently announced partnership between Talpa Studios and Signal.Stream, showcasing the power of the strategic creative collaboration.
The show’s outcome depends on the ultimate survival dilemma: to stay behind in the wilderness… or advance further on the trail. Guided by a well-known former Special Forces member, 16 fearless adventurers will embark on a grueling 12-day-long trail in Norway’s rugged nature… with no less than 100.000 euros at stake! The trail is divided into several stages that become more difficult along the way. Under extremely harsh conditions, the adventurers face the most adrenaline-charged challenges.
Each stage ends in a survival camp. Here, the contestants are given the dilemma whether to stay or continue the journey. If no one voluntarily chooses to stay behind, a vote is taken. Each camp is worth money: the four camps together are worth 50.000 euros. If you stay until the last day, you win the amount that a camp is worth… but life in the camps is extremely tough. Completing the journey is worth more: 50.000 euros. But if no one reaches the finish in time, that amount is divided among the remaining adventurers in the camps – if they haven’t given up yet, that is. Who goes forward, taking destiny into their own hands? And who stays behind, hoping the others fail? On this show, anything is possible, but one thing is certain: once you’ve made a choice, there’s No Way Back.
