Endemol Shine Group Secures Format Deals, Sets MIPCOM Slate

AMSTERDAM: Endemol Shine Group has landed new commissions for Big Music Quiz 
and Locked, which will be among the company’s formats offering at MIPCOM.

Locked, an Israeli game show, has landed a second season on Reshet. The format, which sees contestants use skill and strategy to open an increasing number of locked doors, is making its international debut at MIPCOM.

The company also secured new commissions in Italy (Rai 1) and the Netherlands (RTL4) for the musical game show Big Music Quiz, created by Shine France. The Italian version of Big Music Quiz will be produced by Endemol Shine Italy and is set to air in December. Endemol Shine Netherlands will produce the RTL4 version, which is slated to air in 2017. The show has rolled out in five territories.

Big Music Quiz will be featured as part of Endemol Shine Group’s formats slate in Cannes, alongside The Society Game, which is making its international debut at MIPCOM. The reality format, developed with Endemol Shine Group, CJ E&M and Endemol Shine Asia, explores contrasting “societies” based on authoritarian rule and democracy models. A returning format from Endemol Shine Australia is the family-entertainment series Spelling Star, which sees kids compete to be the nation’s best young speller.

Lisa Perrin, CEO of Creative Networks at Endemol Shine Group, commented, “Big Music Quiz is really starting to roll out internationally and it’s brilliant to land commissions in Italy and the Netherlands before we head to Cannes. Our diverse global library is truly showcased this MIPCOM with social experiments, entertainment and game shows originating from all corners of the world to inspire audiences for broadcasters and platforms in any market.”
