TV Formats Screening Festival Spotlight: ZDF Studios

Four long-running European hits are being made available for adaptation by international broadcasters and platforms via ZDF Studios, which it is highlighting in the TV Formats Screenings Festival.

This includes the beloved entertainment Wanna Bet?, which fuses talk, game and variety elements. “In this show, nothing is pre-recorded or edited,” says Ralf Rückauer, VP Unscripted. “If the celebrities lose their bet, they must complete a task of their own, most often an entertaining charitable gesture.”

Rückauer adds, “Airing since 1981, Wanna Bet? is the absolute top entertainment show in the German-speaking territories and a hit around the world.”

QUIZ HUNT, meanwhile, has shown consistent ratings growth in its home market. “The market share in this time slot has almost quadrupled, and subsequent time slots benefit from this rapid growth,” Rückauer notes.

ZDF Studios has another quiz show on offer, the beloved Dalli Dalli, along with the factual offering Crime Watch XY.
