Last Viking, The - FORMAT

image

An epic reality format competition that travels back in time...

In a mysterious universe, hidden from the rest of civilisation, 18 people will fight the same battle their forefathers fought. They will live like Vikings, and fight each other in a battle of honour, power and wealth. One by one, the weak will fall until the last one remains, ‘The Last Viking’. 

On arrival, the contestants are divided into two Viking-camps where they must adjust to the primitive surroundings. The camps have a distinct hierarchy, and the contestants must fight for the best possible position in their group. They will do this through group and individual competitions. 

At the end of each week there will be a big battle, which will determine who will be the chief. The chief is in a position of great power and can choose his closest advisors. The loser of the battle will have to leave the competition. 

Day-to-day Viking life is a big part of the format; weekly baths, meeting at Tinget (their legislative forum), competing at the duelling arena and going on raids. Everything leads to the big finale; one last epic battle where the final contestant will be named ‘The Last Viking’.

 Airs Mondays and Wednesdays at 8.30pm on SBS Discovery (Norway)
