CANNES: One of the fastest-selling formats of 2016, This Time Next Year is a studio entertainment series that features an array of real-life transformations, presented in an instantaneous time-travel fashion.

“The format is still gaining new commissions all the time and has led the way for our development of the ‘television time-travel formula,’” says Melanie Leach, Twofour Group’s chief executive.

For MIPTV, the company is offering two new formats that use that same formula. The Home Game focuses on property owners and their home renovations, while Give It a Year features entrepreneurs taking on the gamble of starting their own business. “All three formats give hit after hit of unmissable stories revealed in an instant, cutting to the chase and cutting out the boring bits,” says Leach.

“We’re entering MIPTV with one of our most diverse slates to date,” notes Leach.
