LONDON: Endemol has secured new agreements for its global format 101 Ways to Leave a Gameshow, which has deals in place in the U.K., Brazil, Turkey and the U.S.

Endemol Germany has been commissioned to produce a 90-minute prime-time special for RTL to air this summer. TV Globo in Brazil and Fox in Turkey have commissioned first seasons. The new productions will be filmed at the show’s global hub in Argentina, where the local versions for BBC One in the U.K. and ABC in the U.S. are also being filmed. (ABC has commissioned a broadcast pilot of the show.)

Paul Römer, the chief creative officer of Endemol Group, commented: “101 Ways to Leave a Gameshow is another great example of Endemol delivering high-octane entertainment on a massive scale and I’m extremely pleased to see it rolling out around the world so quickly. The ratings success in the U.K. is an extremely strong start for this format, which we believe has great global potential.”
