Mediaset’s Forum Set for French Treatment

Carson Prod. has acquired an option to adapt Mediaset’s daily court show Forum in France.

Forum, which sees a judge preside over small claims cases involving quarrels between neighbors and family issues, has been running in Italy for 32 years. It is produced by Corima. Carson Prod. is a Lagardère Studios company.

Manuela Caputi, the head of Mediaset Distribution Library, said, “The program has been able to evolve with time and adapt to social changes and customs. I think this is a very flexible format that easily fits in other countries and I am confident in its future success.”
