Here's 13 Canadian Shows That Were Originally From Another Country

You're not prepared for how many versions of Dragons' Den there are!

It's pretty cool that a fun reality show idea can be produced in so many different countries so everybody can join in on the fun! Canadian media definitely shares a lot of series with other countries — so here's 13 shows with Canadian adaptions for us to decide which we'd binge the most!

Disclaimer: this is all in good fun and means nothing. If anything you should binge all versions of every show so you never are without something to watch!

1. Canada's Got Talent vs. Britain's Got Talent (UK)

Citytv, iTV

In case you didn't know, the Got Talent franchise actually started in the UK before being produced globally! Apparently, everybody does have a talent to be proud of.

2. The Amazing Race Canada vs. The Amazing Race (US)

CTV, CBS

Personally, I just love seeing all the locations in this show no matter where it's taking place!

3. Dragons' Den (Canada) vs. Dragons' Den (UK)

CBC, BBC

The Dragon's Den Cinematic Universe is ~sending me~. No seriously, there's been so many adaptions of this idea globally (starting in Japan but we can't actually find that anymore) that I spent so long in this rabbit hole – but basically, everyone should watch every version ever.

Honestly, I just wish someone from any of these shows would give me money just because... but who doesn't!

4. Canada's Drag Race vs. RuPaul's Drag Race (US)

CBC, VH1

The drag race franchise is a international treasure, thank you Ru, thank you so much!

5. Canadian Idol vs. American Idol (US)

CTV, ABC

The same show except obviously on Canadian Idol they sing in Canadian and on American Idol they sing in... you guessed it!

6. Big Brother Canada vs. Big Brother (Netherlands)

Global Television Network, Tien

"Big Brother is always watching"... no matter which country! It's pretty cool to think that the entire franchise started in The Netherlands though!

7. Canada's Worst Driver vs. Britain's Worst Driver (UK)

Discovery Channel, Paramount Networks UK

I get a weird sense of peace knowing that bad drivers exist basically everywhere.

8. Qui sait chanter? vs. I Can See Your Voice (South Korea)

Noovo, MNet

I love that you're not supposed to "judge a book by its cover".... unless it's to determine if they can sing or not with absolutely no context!

9. Master Chef Canada vs. Master Chef (UK)

CTV, BBC

Competitive cooking shows are a international, nay, UNIVERSAL necessity!!

10. Family Feud Canada vs. Family Feud (US)

CBC, CW

This franchise is simply iconic, I don't even mind which one you choose as the better option because both have had some "gooood answers!" and completely undeserved confidence.

11. Bachelor in Paradise Canada vs. Bachelor in Paradise (US)

Citytv, ABC

Is this a safe space to discuss how "Too Hot To Handle" should be considered a clone of this franchise? No? Sorry.

12. The Great Canadian Baking Show vs. The Great British Bake-Off (UK)

CBC TV, BBC One

It doesn't matter the country, you can always count on the fact that someone's biscuits will be undercooked!

13. The Masked Singer Canada or Chanteurs Masqués vs. The King of the Masked Singer (South Korea)

TVA, MBC

Personally, the original is amazing for me but overall I just love watching people on stage in ridiculously creative costumes.

Are there any shows originally from Canada that you've seen adapted in other countries? Let us know in the comments!
