French Option on Passion Distribution Format

LONDON: New York-based Picture This Television’s format Estranged has been optioned by Endemol in France, in a deal inked by Passion Distribution.

The show takes two people, once loved ones, family or close friends, who have become estranged by one event or argument. A relationship expert will listen to each individual’s side before the pair are put face to face and will have to spend 24 hours together in the same room. They are given a series of challenges so they can each understand the other person’s perspective. In the end they will have the choice to stay and put the past behind them or walk away for good.
