French-Canadian Comedy Set for American Adaptation

Encore Television’s Les Beaux Malaises, a French-Canadian comedy, is being developed for the American market.

New Media Vision licensed the U.S. format rights to the series, which has been airing successfully on TVA since 2014. It chronicles the daily personal life of celebrity/stand-up comedian Martin Matte.

“Les Beaux Malaises is an edgy and laugh-out-loud comedy that I can’t wait to see on American television,” said Todd Lituchy, founder and CEO of New Media Vision. “The show has been a ratings and critical success since its launch. We couldn’t be more excited to bring this hit format to the U.S. and share it with a global audience.”
