I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Greece Season 01 was produced by (the Turkish production company behind the successful Turkish version, Survivor Türkiye ) in collaboration with Greek broadcaster Skai TV . The season aired from April 2, 2023 to June 4, 2023 , occupying a primetime slot on Sunday through Thursday evenings. Unlike many international versions that film in subtropical regions, the Greek producers chose a domestic wilderness location: the mountainous and rugged terrain of Evritania , Central Greece. This decision was both logistical (reducing costs) and thematic (creating a “survival in the Greek outback” narrative).

As of 2026, Skai TV has not renewed I’m a Celebrity… Greece for a second season, citing budgetary concerns and the dominance of Survivor Greece in the same niche. However, the show remains available on Skai’s streaming platform and has gained a small cult following among fans of “low-key survival reality.” Sofia Kourtidou’s win is often cited as a rare example of a comedic actress beating physically dominant contestants through strategy and social gameplay.

The show was hosted by (journalist and TV presenter) and Angeliki Nikolouli (model and television personality), a pairing intended to balance journalistic gravitas with entertainment flair. Unlike many international versions that film in subtropical
Season 01 averaged a 17.4% share in the 18–54 demographic, peaking at 24% during the finale. While respectable, these numbers fell short of Skai TV’s expectations (they had projected 25–30% based on the franchise’s global success). Critics noted that the Greek audience was already saturated with survival reality TV due to Survivor Greece , which had been airing for over a decade.
Despite moderate ratings, Season 01 holds importance as the first localized attempt at a major global format in Greece after a decade of solely airing international versions (e.g., The Bachelor , Got Talent ) via local licenses. It demonstrated that Greek producers could adapt complex outdoor reality formats domestically. The season also sparked discussion about the ethics of using cold-weather survival challenges for celebrities, leading to revised safety protocols for any potential second season.
