Endemol Shine International distributes the format, which has been sold into eleven territories.

It has also just been recommisisoned for a second season on Channel One in Russia, with Endemol Shine prodo Weit Media producing, and the Russian deal has helped The Brain gain traction in the CEE region.

“This drew the attention of all key broadcasters in neighbouring territories.”
