Dori Media Lines Up New Original Game Show

Dori Media Group has unveiled the new original game show The Auction, which will debut in Peru on América Televisión mid-year.

The format pits two teams of five family members against each other. They are each given an equal budget and must acquire prizes with the highest value, while trying to reach the final and win the grand prize.

The Auction is owned by Abot Hameiri and Dori Media in collaboration with América Televisión, Kapow and Open Kimono and produced locally by América Estudios.

Dori Media is set to host a live experience at the Paris Unscripted Showcase on April 29, giving attendees the chance to participate as contestants and learn more about the format. The experience will demonstrate the initial phases of the game and be hosted by an experienced game-show host.

“Our fruitful collaboration with Abot Hameiri has once again created a new unscripted format, The Auction, with the potential to become the next big global format franchise,” said Nadav Palti, CEO of Dori Media. “The Auction has all the elements of a classic game show in an auction setting, filled with suspenseful, funny twists and eye-popping prizes. We are proud to collaborate with our partners—Kapow and Open Kimono—and, together with América Televisión, Peru’s top-ranked network, to bring this thrilling new show to their audiences.”

Fernando Muñiz Betancourt, CEO of América Televisión, commented, “For América Multimedia and América Estudios, this is an important opportunity to demonstrate our ability to produce high-level content, while also successfully delivering it on the country’s most important screen and its digital platforms.”

“The Auction is the result of an international creative synergy that deeply inspires us,” said Agustin Sacanell, co-CEO of Kapow. “We have always backed ideas with original DNA and global ambition, and this format is proof of that. Collaborating closely with América Televisión, alongside Dori Media and Open Kimono, has been an enriching experience, and we’re eager to see how this production connects not only with local audiences, but eventually with viewers around the world.”

Nicolás Grapper, CEO of Open Kimono, added, “We are very enthusiastic about this project, having in consideration that we are collaborating with key players like Dori Media, Kapow and América Peru. We strongly believe in this new IP that Abot Hameiri and Dori Media created, and we are counting the days to enter into production.”
