TORONTO: On the heels of scoring a Cartoon Network U.S. slot for Survive This, 9 Story Entertainment has shored up a trio of international deals for the live-action show currently airing on YTV in Canada, including one with Boomerang in Latin America.

The series has also been acquired by YLE in Finland and Teleview in the Middle East. Created and produced by 9 Story Entertainment and wilderness survival expert Les “Survivorman” Stroud, Survive This features eight participants between the ages of 14 and 17 who endure a range of challenges during the 13 episodes.

“The challenges these teens face make for some of the most compelling television for kids and adults alike resulting in an authentic co-viewing entertainment experience,” said Natalie Osborne, the executive VP of business development at 9 Story Entertainment. “This show has already made a strong impact on young Canadians who’ve seen the first episodes on YTV and we are thrilled that these new and valued broadcast partners on Survive This are equally excited about sharing this program with their audience. The anticipation of seeing each challenge’s outcome is something that easily translates globally and we are looking forward to the audience reaction in every region of the globe."
