NATPE Spotlight: Banijay Rights

A pair of formats lead Banijay Rights’ slate for NATPE, including Don’t, from movie star and executive producer Ryan Reynolds of Deadpool fame.

Hosted by Adam Scott (Parks and Recreation, Big Little Lies), the series each week follows a team of four as they navigate a gauntlet of “don’ts.” Captained by celebrities, teams stacked with sports stars and free-runners face off to be crowned the champions of a game of tag in Catch! “Both Don’t and Catch! are entertainment programs that encourage live viewing and offer the audience feel-good moments,” says Elliott Chalkley, VP of sales at Banijay Rights. “These kinds of formats work well for linear broadcasters and provide cross-generational, family-viewing fun.”

The thriller Thin Ice dramatizes the issues of climate change, Arctic exploitation and international geopolitics.
