Global’s MenTV has picked up 77 hours of the UK version of the popular Fort Boyard format from Toronto’s Lone Eagle Distribution. The adventure format has been adapted in 23 countries, and while a French language version of Fort Boyard has aired for 8 seasons in Quebec, this is the series first English language outing in Canada. It’s tentative air date is January, in a primetime slot. The game show produced by France’s Adventure Line Productions is set in a fort surrounded by the Atlantic, wherein competitors overcome challenges to reach a tiger-guarded Treasure Room.
