Floor Filler Heads to Italy

STOCKHOLM: Strix Television’s dance format Floor Filler has been picked up by Rai Due in Italy, with the local adaptation produced by Endemol.

The Italian treatment, called Academy, will launch on Rai Due this Spring. The format follows an intense struggle through which one winner will be named the greatest dancer. Floor Filler, produced by Zeppelin TV, is currently on air in Spain on Cuatro, where it has more than doubled the average share of its time slot.

Mia Engström, the head of Strix’s international sales, commented: "The show is a great success on Cuatro in Spain, where the format delivers great ratings in young target groups, and we hope for the same success for the Italian series."
