User blog:BeccaSchmecca/Turkey: Matt Keane wants to see a Tehlikeden kaçış reboot

Matt Keane is hoping for Turkish TV channel Star TV to give Tehlikeden kaçış a reboot after having been cancelled in 2013.

Tehlikeden kaçış was Turkey's equivalent to Matt Keane's Deathtrap. Star TV eventually cancelled the program in 2013 after going through two (2) seasons, due to low viewing figures. Keane said:

"“You had many strong contestants across Turkey, and I really want to see a reboot of your program.”"

Cem Uzan, the head of Entertainment at Star TV, has however played down the likelihood of Tehlikeden kaçış having a reboot, stating:

"“Now, never say never, but as long as each franchise is, as they are now, I’m definitely not going to give our show a reboot.”"

Star TV cancelled Tehlikeden kaçış after the second season in 2013 not only because of low viewing figures, but also for encouraging stereotypes they don't share. A feeling that Uzan echoes:

"“The values ​​that we put in Turkey in a program for teenagers and young adults do not match the values ​​of the Deathtrap family…It seems that the challenges provided in each episode are too hard, and we think that is fundamentally wrong. Challenges must be average, they should not try to involve what someone would see in horror films.”"

Uzan does however, regret the cancellation of Tehlikeden kaçış. He states that previous members of the Turkish broadcaster had spoken to Keane about changes they would like to see to each Deathtrap franchise, but to no avail.

"“It's super bad for us, because we really wanted to give our show a reboot.”"

Keane responded to the criticism from Star TV, stating:

"“I think it's a shame that Turkey's broadcaster doesn't have interest in giving their show a reboot for some reason.”"
