Two-Season Renewal for THINK in Romania

Kanal D Romania has ordered seasons five and six of Jocul Cuvintelor, its version of the word-based game-show format THINK.

The format, owned by Bavaria Entertainment and distributed internationally by Sera Film, premiered in Turkey in 2009 as Kelime Oyunu. It has also been adapted in Slovakia, Poland and for Kurdish-speaking audiences, with a recent option secured in Spain. Over 300 episodes of the show have aired in Romania, hosted by Dan Negru.

Idil Belli, CEO of Sera Film, said, “We have always believed in the potential of THINK as we surpass the 3,750 episode count in Turkey. We are glad that it is showing similar success and audience permanence in Romania. This performance, all but further proves, the global appeal and adaptability of THINK! in a time where the industry needs more scalable TV programs.”

Fatih Salış, news and internal productions director at Kanal D Romania, stated: “Jocul Cuvintelor has become a real phenomenon in Romania since its launch, and has created new consumption habits for a demanding and very diverse audience. The show has consistently positioned Kanal D at number 1 in the television ratings during the show’s broadcast time, and this is a sign that Romanians continue to want a quiz that combines fun with intelligence. And our mission is to offer those in front of the small screens quality shows.”
