Farmen 2025, the much-loved reality show, is set to return with its 18th season, introducing what can only be described as a groundbreaking twist. For the very first time, contestants will live and compete on two separate farms, marking a significant shift in the show’s dynamics.
According to program host Anna Brolin, this new format promises to deliver exhilarating drama and engaging interactions among the participants. "Det har varit en sanslöst dramatisk sommar. Det är mycket skratt, en hel del drama och ett gäng väldigt spännande karaktärer," she shared, reflecting on the intense experiences from the filming of the season.
Farmen, known for its rigorous challenges and the unique social games it fosters among its contestants, will see participants divided between two farms. Brolin expresses her excitement about the fresh dynamics this change brings, emphasizing how unexpected friendships are likely to form amid the competition. "Det blir en otroligt häftig dynamik som uppstår och det skapas i vanlig ordning oväntade vänskaper; jag hoppas och tror att tittarna också kommer att skratta en hel del med det här gänget," she said.
This year, the show features 16 contestants, ranging from ages 23 to 64, each bringing their distinct backgrounds and personalities to the forefront. Some of the participants include Jonna Abrahamsson, 38, who works as a pension and insurance specialist, and Marica Stridh, 50, who operates as both a party bus and limousine chauffeur. Others include Peter Rönnlund, 37, who is involved in event planning, and Robert Nilsson, 35, who practices as a blacksmith.
The contestants will have to navigate the challenges of Farmen without modern luxuries, cultivating their food, building their amenities, and finding inventive ways to thrive on limited resources. This environment not only tests their physical capabilities but also their social skills, as forming alliances and friendships can be just as important as competition.
Farmen 2025 is set to air on January 19, 2025, on TV4 Play and TV4, allowing viewers to experience the excitement and drama firsthand. The show has become synonymous with engaging storytelling and raw human emotion, drawing viewers who are invested not only in the contests but also the relationships formed under challenging conditions.
The anticipation surrounding this new season is palpable, with fans eager to see how the contestants adapt to the altered format and which unexpected friendships might blossom among the competition. Will the changes invigorate the show and offer new angles on the classic formula? Only time will tell as the contestants step onto their respective farms.
