New Format Commissions for WBITVP

Warner Bros. International Television Production (WBITVP) has sealed a slew of new format deals across its unscripted catalog.

ZDF’s Cash or Trash is being remade for Croatian broadcaster Nova TV with a 20-episode run and Serbia’s Nova with a 60-episode series. The format has now spawned 13 versions, including in the U.K. and France.

FBoy Island is being adapted as FBoy Survival for India, airing on both the Discovery Channel and the D+ platform. Fox6 Media’s 20-episode season launches in January.

Discovery India also went for a second season of the Reality Queens of the Jungle format, known locally as Reality Ranis of the Jungle.

FBoy Island has also scored a commission in Germany, with a nine-part series produced by WBITVP Germany heading to Prime Video.

WBITVP has also confirmed the first international commission of Inside Therapy, with France Télévisions ordering a five-part series, Rendez-vous Chez le Psy, from WBITVP France.

André Renaud, WBITVP’s general VP of format and finished sales, said: “WBITVP remains the home for franchises that scale and travel, from bold reality and dating formats to long-running brands and stories that speak to the human condition. The latest commissions of FBoy Island, Reality Queens of the Jungle, and ZDF’s iconic Cash or Trash demonstrate that range, while the commission of Inside Therapy in France shows that there is also still space and purpose for content that sparks a real conversation with audiences. These deals speak to the strength of our global format portfolio across both our production companies and partners, and to the value of our deep production capability. We’re proud of the relationships behind these commissions, which reflect continued collaboration at a time when consistency, speed and reach are crucial for success.”
