Robinsonův ostrov is a Czech reality television program debuting in 2017. In 2016, TV Nova bought the broadcast rights to air their own version of Expedition Robinson. The name alludes to both Robinson Crusoe and The Swiss Family Robinson, two stories featuring people being marooned by shipwrecks. The Robinson format was developed by Planet 24, a United Kingdom TV production company owned by Charlie Parsons and Bob Geldof. Their company Castaway Television Productions retained the rights to the concept when they sold Planet 24 in 1999. Mark Burnett later licensed the format to create the U.S. show Survivor in 2000. Filming the greatest adventure reality show in television history Nova is currently underway in the Philippines, on the island of Caramoan, where 18 contestants fighting for survival on a desert island. "We had a few days of shooting and everything is already well-played. I dare say that such a show, viewers in the Czech Republic have not seen yet, "said Ondrej Novotny, who will accompany the competitors and spectators all parts of the show.
