Canale 5 could give up broadcasting L’Isola dei Famosi forever. Here’s what’s been happening in the last few hours.
Mediaset, in recent years, has given a lot of space to reality shows. Big Brother and Famous Island have thus become two undisputed points of reference for the public. The last television season, however, was not at all convincing. It all started with the decision to entrust Vladimir Luxuria with the management of the new group of castaways. Fans expressed their disappointment with vitriolic comments. Furthermore, ratings have done nothing but decline.
The 2024 edition of The Island of the Famous can be described as the most disappointing ever. In the history of the broadcast, such low numbers have never been seen. At the moment, his future is at risk. In fact, it is not certain that the network’s top management will decide to give the show another chance.
Mediaset could say goodbye to L’Isola dei Famosi: too disappointing an edition
The Island of the Famous has disappointed the expectations of loyal fans. According to the opinion of many, Vladimir Luxuria was not able to carry out such a multifaceted and demanding reality show. The situation, in reality, is much more complex than that. The castaways themselves, with their abandonments, have shown that they do not believe in the format. Furthermore, Sonia Bruganelli and Dario Maltese were not very incisive.
All this has generated a great upheaval at Mediaset. Pier Silvio Berlusconi, in a recent speech, admitted to not be at all satisfied with the work done. His words did nothing but underline the drama of the situation. The Island of the Famous may no longer be renewed. For now, nothing is certain. The network is carefully evaluating all possible alternatives.
According to some rumours, he could also decide to entrust the role of presenter to the beloved Simona Ventura. Ilary Blasi’s return cannot be ruled out either. Certainly, to try to capture the public’s interest again, some new features will have to be included. A concrete review of the format could lead to a positive result. Others are convinced that the moving to another network could change the cards on the table.
Nine, for example, in the last period, has appeared rather interested in characters belonging to other channels. Just think of the entry of Amadeus and Fazio to realize the change taking place. Summer will probably represent a decisive period. The definition of the schedules will be fundamental to establish the future of L’isola dei Famosi.
