A+E Networks Brings New Entertainment Formats to Cannes

Among other MIPTV highlights, A+E Networks plans to present four new entertainment formats, including Glam Masters, which is executive produced by Kim Kardashian West.

Glam Masters follows make-up artists as they compete in themed challenges. Executive producing alongside Kardashian West is Diana Madison, host of Style Lab, for Lifetime in the U.S.

Another entertainment format on offer from the company is Love at First Flight, which tests the theory of “if you travel with someone and fall in love by the time you return home, you should marry them on the spot.” The program is made by Pilgrim Studios for Lifetime in the U.S.

There is also Snap Decision, which marks A+E Networks’ first game-show launch. Contestants are asked to make snap judgments about strangers to find out who is the best at “judging a book by its cover.”

Then there is Vintage Queens, a competition series centered on the rising popularity of retro clothing and accessories. The show is produced by Endemol Shine for Lifetime in Poland.

Ellen Lovejoy, A+E Networks’ VP, head of content sales for the Americas and formats, stated: “We are thrilled to launch a new slate of fun, warmhearted formats to complement our rich catalog. From our first game show, Snap Decision, to the emotional wild ride of Love at First Flight to the fashion-forward Glam Masters and Vintage Queens, our formats are innovative, creative and inspiring. Our recently launched formats continue to demonstrate a strong track record. From Seven Year Switch in Australia and the U.K.—and Alone, which continues to captivate audiences’ sense of adventure in Denmark and Norway—our formats are connecting with global audiences.”
