MIPCOM Spotlight: Banijay International

CANNES: Banijay Group’s iconic reality format Temptation Island was recently relaunched on Italy’s Canale 5, and Banijay International is offering the title at MIPCOM.

The strong ratings led to a renewal for season two in 2015. “It is a truly iconic format and a real heavyweight in the reality space, so with this new round of great ratings it is commanding a lot of attention,” says Sebastian Burkhardt, the head of sales at Banijay International.

New to the Banijay International portfolio is The Sorrentinos, part of the company’s expansion into selling finished programs. The reality series features Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino of Jersey Shore fame and his family.

Another highlight of the Banijay catalogue is the format BFF, created by Nordisk Film, TV 2 Zulu and the world-renowned beer brand Carlsberg.
