MIPTV Spotlight: Banijay Rights

Banijay Rights is launching three big new entertainment formats at MIPTV: Child Support, Date Night and Stars on the Rocks.

Child Support is a modern take on the big-money studio game show. “It combines the tension and jeopardy of a high-stakes quiz structure with the unpredictability and humor that results when one of the biggest names in comedy, Ricky Gervais, comes face-to-face with a bunch of elementary school children,” says Andrew Sime, the company’s VP of formats.

Date Night is about the modern dating world, “and the fun that comes from watching people try—and often fail—to find romance,” says Sime. “We think it’s the perfect reality format for 2018.”

Stars on the Rocks is an adventure reality show that offers a “new take on celebrity relationships and shows viewers a different side to some of their favorite stars.”

Sime says: “As the Banijay Group continues to grow, so too does the Banijay Rights format catalog.”
