WBITVP Takes on The Final Circle

Warner Bros. International Television Production (WBITVP) has secured the distribution rights for Satisfaction’s French format The Final Circle.

“The Final Circle delivers what viewers continue to crave from their quiz and game shows: tension, humor and an iconic set in the form of the 360-degree arena, while also testing contestants’ full brain power under pressure to give anyone the chance to make it through to The Final Circle,” said Andrew Zein, executive VP of creative format development at sales at WBITVP.

“We are thrilled to be working with Satisfaction to represent this format and know that buyers will soon see this as a staple in their own schedules around the world,” he added.

The game show sees 50 contestants step into a 360-degree arena and face challenges that test every part of the mind, from logic and memory to language and visual skills. Round by round, players are eliminated, the questions grow harder and the circle tightens. In the end, only one contestant will reach The Final Circle and face the showdown where strategy, speed and brainpower decide they win the grand prize.

The Final Circle debuted on TF1 in June 2025 as Le Dernier Cercle and has already been commissioned for a second season in France. Other international commissions are already in discussion.

Nassima Boudi, director of international at Satisfaction Group, said, “WBITVP has successfully nurtured some of the world’s leading format brands, created both within its own group and by third parties, so we know that The Final Circle is in very good hands.

“In France, this search for the most complete brain generated a great deal of buzz and worked well with viewers of different ages, as it doesn’t just rely on what people know, which often varies across the generations. The show proved to be great fun too, driven by engaging and entertaining interactions between the host and the contestants. We now look forward to seeing these experiences replicated in other territories as our format begins its international journey.”
