A+E Networks Acquires Spouse on Strike

A+E Networks has signed a deal to distribute Proper Content’s new factual-entertainment format Spouse on Strike internationally.

The format sees overwhelmed partners hand over the sole running of the house to their unwilling and unprepared other halves. A+E Networks now represents the format, as well as the completed six-episode U.K. series, titled Wife on Strike.

“A+E Networks is thrilled to partner with Proper Content on this fun and heartwarming format,” said Ninder Billing, VP of unscripted co-productions for international at A+E Networks. “Spouse on Strike goes beyond gender stereotypes, shedding light on all kinds of relationships and blended families, with a lighthearted approach to finding better ways of living and being together. We look forward to introducing this unique new format at MIPCOM 2023 and sharing the stories of these brave and hilarious strikers.”
