MADRID: Four new format titles will be on offer from Spain’s Phileas Productions at MIPCOM, among them The Crazy Cow and Celebrity Surprise Party.

The Crazy Cow is from the creators of The 20 Little Piggy Banks and Involution: The Monkey Game Show. The format challenges contestants to hold their position until the end, for a chance at a 100,000 euro prize. Also from Phileas, Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace is a factual show that lets parents speak out about whether or not their child has chosen the right partner. Wild Western Reality is a reality show with cowboys and Indians. Viewers make the nominations, while the contestants face off in a duel to stay in the program. Rounding out the slate is Celebrity Surprise Party, in which a celebrity and a party planner have seven days to pull an event together for a special someone.
 
Also on the Phileas slate are the returning series Millions @ Home (The Next Generation Game Show), in which the viewers are the contestants, and The ATM, having scored options in the U.S., France and Belgium.
 
Sergio Sancho, the founder and managing director at Phileas Productions, said: "We face this new market with lots of enthusiasm and we are excited to see if the new formats are as popular as our previous successes. We are also keen to continue to grow our existing formats and develop them in new markets. Of course we will make the most of this opportunity to immerse ourselves and discover everything possible in the new trends and needs of the audiovisual market."
