Talpa Studios will stage two exclusive showcases at the inaugural MIP London, including a session on the new talent format The Headliner.

The sessions will take place on February 24 at the IET London on Savoy Place and will be introduced by Sebastian van Barneveld, director of global distribution at Talpa Studios. At 9:15 a.m., The Talpa Studios Showcase: Fresh Formats, Endless Creativity will feature previously unseen previews, updates and an insider’s look into the company’s most successful and promising concepts. At 12 p.m., The Headliner Spotlight: A Case Study of a Ground-breaking New Talent Format will explore the talent show with the originators sharing exclusive insights into the creative process, collaboration and unique elements.

“Talpa Studios has a richly deserved reputation for innovation and a track record in delivering global hits from The Floor to The Quiz with Balls,” said Lucy Smith, director of MIP LONDON and MIPCOM CANNES. “So, when they showcase ‘what’s new,’ ‘what’s next’ and ‘why it’s different,’ it is an absolute must-see and will undoubtedly be a highlight of the unscripted offering at MIP LONDON.’”

“We are honored to be an integral part of the inaugural MIP London,” said van Barneveld. “MIP remains a unique opportunity to connect with so many people from so many territories in such a short time. Our strong original formats, combined with formats born from creative partnerships, have been instrumental in building our innovative and diversified slate. We’re excited to share highlights and insights together with some of our best creatives and buyers.”
