The 1% Club Heads to Mexico

BBC Studios has licensed The 1% Club to TV Azteca for a local remake in Mexico.

The format, created by Magnum Media, will get a 52×60-minute treatment to be aired on TV Azteca’s owned and operated channels. The deal marks the first commission in Latin America for the multi-award-winning format and the ninth market overall.

André Renaud, senior VP of global format sales at BBC Studios, said: “The burgeoning and proven success of The 1% Club is testament to the format’s versatility and mass appeal. We can’t wait to work with TV Azteca to bring the show to Mexican audiences and see which of them has what it takes to make it into the 1% Club.”

Adrian Ortega, director of content at TV Azteca, added: “At TV Azteca, we are thrilled to introduce this innovative, humor-filled, and challenging format to our audience. The 1% Club represents a commitment to intelligence and entertainment, and we are confident it will capture the attention of our Mexican audience. We look forward to seeing who in Mexico will join the exclusive 1% Club.”
