MIPTV Spotlight: Talpa Global

CANNES: The new Talpa game show 5 Gold Rings features visual questions projected on an LED floor.

There is a play-along app as well that gives viewers at home a miniature version of the studio floor in the palm of their hands. Meanwhile, a water battle takes place in Cannonball. “It’s hilarious and energetic entertainment that keeps the viewers on the edge of their seats,” says Maarten Meijs, the managing director of Talpa Global.

The company also has a new social experiment, A Whole New Beginning. The show watches as three families embark on the adventure of a lifetime by packing their bags and moving to the other side of the world. Meijs explains, “They are completely in charge of their own decisions, choices and dreams; there are no scripts and no interferences: we’re just there to witness their incredible journeys.”

“We have had a very successful year, and we’re still growing,” notes Meijs.
