Meet the Humans to Get Local Treatment in Denmark

BBC Studios has licensed the format Meet the Humans—originally commissioned for the global BBC Earth channel—to Danish pubcaster DR1.

Meet the Humans studies the science behind the everyday behavior of human beings. The six-episode adaptation will be produced by Mastiff. It is currently in production for broadcast in the fall.

Andre Renaud, the VP of format sales for Western Europe, commented: “We are thrilled to be working with DR1 on this amazing social experiment. Being able to bring [presenter] Michael Mosely’s work to Danish audiences through Mastiff and DR is a great opportunity to bring to life the science behind this entertaining format and further uncover who we are as people.”

Pil Gundelach Brandstrup, channel controller at DR1, added: “Partnering with BBC Studios on this unique format came at an ideal time for us as we focus on science this year on DR. The new series will be part of a wealth of programming planned for the genre on DR1 as well as other channels and platforms. We’ve already focused on, among other things, the genius of the human body, but now we plan to take this further by zooming in on the behavioral perspective of humans, which this format has allowed us to do. We’re looking forward to bringing this series to our audiences this autumn.”
