MIAMI: Keshet International (KI) has licensed its new social-experiment format Boxed to Globo in Brazil.

A local version of Boxed will be produced in-house by Globo. The order is for 12 episodes, which will launch later this year. Originally created by Keshet for Keshet Broadcasting, the format sees two people in a serious dispute enter an expertly designed box with the help of a trained mediator outside to sort out their differences.

Kelly Wright, the head of Latin America at Keshet International, said, “We are excited that Globo is the first partner to come on board as Boxed begins its global journey. Social experiment formats are definitely in vogue at the moment and Boxed is one of the best on the market. It is revealing, but also heartwarming, dealing head-on with the subject of immovable feuds; it provides a way through. We’re proud to introduce this ‘take-away’ programming to the vibrant and plugged-in Brazilian market.”
