Fremantle & CJ ENM Extend Partnership for I Can See Your Voice

CJ ENM and Fremantle have expanded their partnership for the format I Can See Your Voice, which has secured a brand-new commission in Russia as well as a multi-territory option deal.

The newest format sale will see Russian broadcaster Russia-1 air a local version of I Can See Your Voice in 2021. Earlier this year, Fremantle announced a U.K. version of the format to be produced by Thames and Naked for BBC One next year.

Fremantle has also secured the format rights in nine further territories, including Norway, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, India, Mexico, Estonia and Lithuania.

Diane Min, format sales head at CJ ENM, said: “With I Can See Your Voice continuing its journey to becoming a mega IP, it is our delight to be working with Fremantle for it to travel to many new territories. We are excited to see the Russian version of ICSYV soon.”

Vasha Wallace, executive VP of global acquisitions and development at Fremantle, said: “I loved I Can See Your Voice from the moment I saw the show. It is a guessing music game show, which is very timely. We know audiences around the world want fun and escapism in these times. It is also a hilarious laugh out loud show for the whole family to watch together. We are thrilled to be expanding our partnership with CJ ENM to take this hugely successful format to 11 new territories, starting with these exciting new U.K. and Russian versions coming to life next year.”
