The Apprentice set to return as Fremantle strikes deal with Mark Burnett
Fremantle Media has struck a deal with the Mark Burnett-owned production company One Three Television Today to bring Burnett’s shows to Australia and New Zealand.
This could mean a return of The Apprentice, Survivor and Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? and the introduction of Shark Tank and Expedition Impossible.
Fremantle will have exclusive access to Burnett’s back catalogue of formats, and the ability to take shows currently in development and produce them first in Australia and New Zealand, along with ancillary rights to all formats.
FremantleMedia CEO Ian Hogg told The Australian: “We’re very confident The Apprentice will be making an appearance on Australian TV soon. It could be (on Nine).”
“Introduction” of Smarter than a 5th Grader?
The 2nd series needs more of an edge. I’m a huge fan of the Apprentice UK, and have been drawn in to all 6 series.
Is Mark Bouris too much of a nice guy? (compared to Alan Sugar)
do you think there could be an australian version of the celebrity apprentice? Any suggestions of which aussie celebs would be in it?
Imagine if Gerry Harvey was the aussie version instead of mark bouris?
