Fort Boyard: Ultimate Challenge is a children's game show, based on the French show Fort Boyard, which aired on both CITV and Disney XD. The show is a challenge game where six different "fearless" teams of teenagers battle-to-the-finish to win the "Ultimate Challenge" and become the "Ultimate Conquerors Of The Fort". The show is a revived and updated version of the original format, broadcast in the UK from 1998 to 2003.
While being a commission from CITV in the UK, the first two series were produced as a British-American co-production with Disney XD, who held worldwide pay rights to the series outside France and Nordic territories, and was co-presented by Geno Segers and Laura Hamilton. The series initially started its run in the United States on 17 October 2011 to 23 March 2012 in the United States. In the United Kingdom, it premiered on New Year's Day 2012.
After the series was renewed for a third series in June 2012, the series became solely a British production, with Geno Segers being replaced with Andy Akinwolere as co-presenter. The third series began on 8 December 2012 and was simulcast on the ITV network.
