Belgium-based Primitives has acquired the worldwide format rights (excluding German-speaking Europe) to Terrain: Battle of the Flags, an adventure-reality competition inspired by gaming mechanics from German public broadcaster ZDF and Belgian production company Roses Are Blue.
Created by German comedian, actor, writer and YouTube creator Torge Oelrich — better known to his subscribers and followers as Freshtorge — Terrain: Battle of the Flags re-imagines the experience of competitive gaming in the real world.
Developed in collaboration with Roses Are Blue to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Freshtorge’s popular YouTube channel, the format centers on ten high-profile content creators divided into two teams of five, which compete over several days in a purpose-built game environment set against the dramatic backdrop of the Scottish Highlands.
The contestants not only self-shoot their experience but also wear specially developed third-person camera systems integrated into bespoke vests. This creates a distinctive viewing perspective, inspired by the look and feel of video games.
Terrain: Battle of the Flags will roll out in Germany this autumn. The first three episodes will premiere simultaneously on ZDF’s streaming platform. On YouTube, viewers can watch episode one on launch day, followed by episode two the next day and episode three the day after. The series will receive its linear premiere on ZDFneo.
