Mission Unknown: Atlantic will premiere with the first two episodes on Prime Video Germany on Friday 28 February. Two weeks later it will be available on Knossi’s YouTube channel. Brand partners for the series include Samsung, HOLY and yfood.
Top German influencers and social media personalities Joey Kelly, Sophia Thiel, Marc Eggers, Affe auf Bike, Willi Whey, Jodie Calussi, Sophia Chiara, TC and Clemens Brock, go offline and join Knossi on an extraordinary adventure to sail across the Atlantic. Split into teams, and dealing with a host of difficulties from torn sails to broken technology, lack of sleep, seasickness and stormy weather, they push themselves to the limit in a race to see who can reach the finish line first.
Arno Schneppenheim, Managing Director, Banijay Productions Germany says: “Mission Unknown: Atlantic is a unique concept which bridges the gap between creators and traditional creatives. By leveraging the popularity of the on-screen talent and our extensive, premium production expertise, we have a formidable format to bring to market.”
Knossi has previously collaborated with Banijay Germany on projects including two series of the brand-funded Big Brother spin-off Big Brother – Knossi Edition which has streamed two series on Twitch, reaching 33.3 million total views for the second season; and as co-host for entertainment format Three Are the Champions which debuted on RTL as the #1 show of the night for the commercial demo. Both were produced by Endemol Shine Germany.
Mission Unknown: Atlantic was created and produced by Banijay Productions Germany in collaboration with DLS Consulting GmbH.
Banijay Media Germany is responsible for the marketing of the branded entertainment format together with DLS.
The format Mission Unknown: Atlantic Heads is reminiscent of Rabbit Films' Over the Atlantic. In Over the Atlantic, six celebrities with no prior sailing experience are challenged to sail across the Atlantic Ocean under the guidance of an experienced sailor. Throughout the journey, they learn to sail, work as a team, and confront the formidable conditions of the ocean, embarking on a path of self-discovery.Similarly, Mission Unknown: Atlantic Heads involves participants undertaking a significant maritime adventure, testing their resilience, teamwork, and personal growth in a challenging oceanic environment. However, since we haven't seen the German show yet, we need to wait for the broadcast.
