“No Limite,” the Brazilian version of Banijay’s hit reality format “Survivor,” will return to Brazil after a 12-year break.
Brazilian network Globo and Endemol Shine Brasil will co-produce the show, which has been commissioned for 11 episodes and will be hosted by André Marques. It will feature a cast of previous contestants from “Big Brother Brasil.”
In addition to this, Globo has commissioned a spin-off for its entertainment channel, Multishow, which will also host re-runs. Globo’s entertainment portal, Gshow, and its VOD service, Globoplay, will host exclusive content and highlights.
The format sees a group of people who are marooned with little more than the clothes on their backs and their own animal cunning. As they catch their own food, build their own shelter and order their own society, castaways must compete in increasingly difficult tests of strategy and guile.
Laurens Drillich, president of Endemol Shine Latino said: “This is such great news.

Brazilian media giant Globo has forged a long-term strategic partnership with Google Cloud in its bid to become a full-fledged mediatech company. The new deal aims to bring more scale, efficiency and innovation to Globo’s operations and distribution.
