Romania is next in line to conquer Talpa’s The Floor

The quiz show will be produced and broadcast by Kanal D Romania, part of Dogan Media International. The show is set to air – weekly, primetime – in the fall of 2023. Further information about the production will be communicated by Kanal D Romania officials soon.

The Floor’s first season in the Netherlands scored impressive ratings on RTL4, with an average market share of 24% in the key demo. The local #1 SVOD platform, Videoland, obtained the second window, and The Floor was the most-watched entertainment show on their platform. More announcements are to be expected soon.

Sebastian van Barneveld, Talpa’s Director of International Distribution is thrilled to see the format travel even further and at such a high pace. “The Floor’s flexible arced structure ensures all markets can localize and enjoy this high stakes combination of strategy, gameplay and knowledge.”

Clara Bomboe, Programming and Strategy Director of Kanal D Romania, adds: “We are very excited to have The Floor among our formats. We are constantly investing in quality content and we are already trendsetters on the smart quiz and game show segments, with some successful productions. We believe we can enter another level with the spectacular and dynamic The Floor. We’ll have an experienced internal production team work on the project.”

About The Floor
In The Floor, 100 quiz fanatics face off in quiz duels on a giant LED floor divided into one hundred equal squares, each representing its own field of knowledge. The goal is to conquer the entire floor and take home a huge cash prize. The rules are simple. A random contestant challenges an adjoining opponent in a quiz duel. They play against each other in the category of the opponent’s square. Categories range from ‘famous athletes’ to ‘Hollywood actors’ and from ‘iconic buildings’ to ‘mammals’. All questions are visually supported by photographs. The winner of a duel conquers his opponent’s square, gaining more ground – the loser leaves the game. The further the game progresses, the more exciting the duels become and the higher the stakes. After eight episodes, who will be the last person standing on The Floor, winning 100.000 euros?
