Metronome Announces Who’s Guilty? for DR1

The new improv-comedy competition Who’s Guilty? is being produced by Metronome for Denmark’s DR1.

“Comedy is picking up pace with audiences again, and we’re seeing a real appetite for bold, playful formats to bring people together through laughter,” said Tina Christensen, managing director at Metronome. “With Who’s Guilty?, our ambition was to create something genuinely original, with a fresh, high-energy blend of mystery and improv that celebrates incredible comedic talent. It’s a feel-good title designed for big laughs, and we’re proud to launch it with DR1.”

In each episode, a troupe of comedians is thrown into a fictional crime and hauled before a courtroom in front of a celebrity jury. One comedian is secretly assigned to play the guilty party; the others are innocent, but they all work together to convince the jury to convict one of them of the crime.

“Who’s Guilty? takes the classic guessing game and throws in comedy, crime and chaos,” said James Townley, chief creative officer of development at Banijay Entertainment. “The spontaneity keeps viewers hooked, with no one knowing what will happen next. It’s a brilliant talent vehicle, giving performers space to build characters and show real comedic instinct. It’s exactly the kind of family-friendly, broad audience offering that resonates internationally and we’re proud to showcase it at this year’s London TV Screenings.”
