Fox Reality Channel's Most Successful Original Series "Solitary" is Back for a 3rd Season
ShineReveille International joins as the Distribution Partner to License the Format Worldwide
LOS ANGELES� Fox Reality Channel, the only all-reality, all-the-time television
network, brings back a triumphant third season of "Solitary". Fox Reality Channel
is currently in pre-production of "Solitary 3.0" with Creators and Executive Producers
Andrew Golder and Lincoln Hiatt.
Fox Reality Channel has named ShineReveille International as its distribution
partner to license the show's format and finished episodes worldwide.
"SOLITARY is a perfect format for the international market as it is both
completely relatable and can be managed with the precise financial model that is
sought after by foreign buyers," say's Chris Grant, President of ShineReveille
International. "We are thrilled to make Fox Reality Channel a strategic partner
given their incredible track record in creating ground breaking alternative
content."
"Solitary" and "Solitary 2.0" were trendsetters in reality television," said Bob
Boden, Fox Reality Channel Senior Vice President of Programming. "'Solitary
3.0' will push the limits of human tolerance even further and allow our viewers to
go along for the wild ride while, luckily for them, watching comfortably from
their homes."
Nine new participants will be subjected to far more grueling physical and
psychological tests requiring extreme patience and endurance. This season
promises to be the most intense series yet with a NEW twist to elevate the
tension and keep viewers talking. When the experiment ends, the last person
standing walks away with a cash prize of $50,000 and this season's bragging
rights.
The "Solitary" franchise is the most successful Fox Reality Channel original,
drawing praise from viewers and critics alike. Without a doubt, the concept of
"Solitary" stepped above and beyond the traditional reality-show-box and will
translate easily in overseas markets. Prior seasons named "Solitary" one of the
ten-most-downloaded series in terms of both season purchases and individual
episode purchases during its first week in the iTunes store.
"Solitary 3.0" is executive produced and co-created by Emmy�-Award Recipient
Andrew Golder ("Identity," "World Series of Blackjack," "Win Ben Stein's Money")
and Lincoln Hiatt ("Unan1mous").
