MTV Spain’s Spanish-language Gandia Shore, based in Gandia, Spain, bowed in October 2012 to nearly a million viewers and there’s a second season in the works. The first season will debut in Latin America in March.
As for Ridiculousness Mexico, it’s the first international adaptation of the video series.
“For Ridiculousness, we know that viral videos are a dime a dozen, so it’s all about finding a witty host with good comedic timing and a fresh perspective,” said Sofia Ioannou, managing director of Viacom International Media Networks for the Americas.
Both shows will begin casting soon.
