New teams will try to conquer the rock-hard Fort Boyard
Now it’s time for the season premiere of “Prisoners at the Fort” 2024. Once again we are back at Fort Boyard where two teams must fight to complete the most missions and finally get to take home their team’s treasure chest.
In the premiere episode of Prisoners at the Fort 2024 we meet both new and familiar faces. It’s time for two brand new teams to take the fort for the first time this year. The presenters Gunde Swan and Agneta Sjödin however, we recognize from earlier and as a riddler up in the tower we see again Peter Stormare like Captain Kaboom.
At the beginning of the program, however, he seems to be busy with other things – when the presenters try to start the first competition, the Captain sits on the stairs and slurps his drink unbroken instead. After Agneta calls him to remind him that the program has actually started, he presses his red button and the fight can begin.

An impressive mix of participants
During this season we will see a blissful mix of participants try their hand at the fort’s many missions. Here you can read Filmtop’s complete list of all participants for 2024. In the season premiere, we meet two teams that mostly consist of artists.
In Layer blue we can see Jonas Hallberg (Stylist), Miss Snusk (Artist) and Theo Haraldsson (Artist and influencer). When the team comes running in, all three are wearing pink robber hats, but when they line up in front of the presenters, it’s just Miss Snusk which keeps its on. The team leader Jonas says that he has now been to the fort a total of 12 times, but that he “never had such a crazy team as now”.

In Lag red we see Alexandra Pascalidou (Journalist and author), Emil Henrohn (Artist and TikTok celebrity) and Carl Hedin (Professional rider). The team leader Alexandra has also been to the fort before, but she describes her experience a little differently.
– I was constantly terrified, but I challenged my fears and came back as a stronger, but more cowardly person, she says.
Early setbacks for both teams in the premiere
The first episode of the season turns out to get off to a shaky start for both teams.
Emil Henrohn from Lag red begins by having major problems with the classic fire brigade cell. He fumbles nervously around the room and at first fails to find the key, but after a while he figures out what to do and wobbly climbs onto the conveyor belt. Unfortunately it seems Emil have trouble staying on his feet and can’t really get anywhere, so after a few minutes he comes out with his tail between his legs, empty-handed.
– Have you never seen the Prisoners at the Fort on TV? wondering Gunde Swanwho seems really puzzled by the poor start the team has managed to get.

Instead, it looks like Team Blue will pull away thanks to Miss Snusks magical effort in the bank robber cell. “She’s probably robbed a bank before, look at her!” exclaims Jonas Hallberg when Miss gets into the bank vault in record time. It all seems to be going smoothly until she accidentally pushes open a vault door a little too far. This causes one of the laser beams in the room to activate and she gets locked up.
– Damn laser… so it sucks that the first thing that happens at the fort is that I end up in the fink, says Miss Snusk.
