Endemol Shine Group Lines Up New Entertainment Formats

Endemol Shine Group has revealed the lineup of new formats it will be presenting at MIPCOM, including the Saturday night entertainment show All Together Now.

From Endemol Shine UK, each episode sees a range of talented performers take to the stage to perform in front of “The 100,” an audience of great singers with big voices and even bigger opinions. If any of the 100 like what they hear, they can stand up and join in. The greater the number that sing along, the higher the contestant’s score. Featuring familiar faces from the world of music as part of The 100, the series kicks off with five hour-long heat episodes. At the end of the show, the two highest-scoring performers progress to the Grand Final for one final performance.

The six-part performance competition will broadcast first in the U.K. on BBC One.

Lisa Perrin, Endemol Shine Group’s CEO of Creative Networks, said: “All Together Now really captures the current feel-good trend that’s happening in entertainment television right now. Our ambition is to have broadcasters around the world get in on the act with this upbeat, joyous show, which launches in the U.K. on BBC One next year.”

Also from the U.K., Armchair Detectives is being produced for BBC One. From Australia, there is Family Food Fight, which is coming up for Nine Network.

Perrin said, “Armchair Detectives is a genre-busting format that combines the play-along element of a whodunit with a game show.” Family Food Fight brings together multigenerational families, “and things really heat up with passionate home cooking,” Perrin adds.

“All of these shows are wonderfully positive and optimistic, which is a real trend with viewers and broadcasters at the moment,” Perrin commented.
