Sony Pictures Television (SPT) has announced the third Latin American adaptation of the Shark Tank format.

Shark Tank Colombia: Negociando con Tiburones will be produced by SPT’s Teleset Colombia during the second half of this year and is set to premiere at the beginning of 2018.
The local adaptation follows the success of the format in Mexico (where a second season is being produced) and Brazil.

“We’re proud of bringing Shark Tank to Canal Sony’s screen in Colombia. It’s a highly appealing format that supports entrepreneurship in Colombia and gives participants the opportunity to share their ideas with leading executives,” said Nathascha Rengifo, VP for the OLA region, SPT Networks, Latin America.

“The success of Shark Tank’s local versions in Mexico and Brazil shows viewers are craving innovative and relevant content,” added Angélica Guerra, general manager and SVP, international production, SPT, Latin America.

The reality format is based on Dragons’ Den, created by Nippon TV in Japan and distributed worldwide by Sony Pictures Television.
