From Fremantle\u2019s grand piano outside the Palais that played host to a surprising array of musically talented media executives to BBC Studios\u2019 buzzy live demo of its hit game show\u00a0The 1% Club<\/em>, format IP owners were eager to make a splash with compelling new propositions as broadcasters and platforms seek more cost-effective ways to make an impact with local audiences.<\/p>\n

And those two aforementioned properties did indeed see a wave of traction last week in Cannes. BBC Studios announced a deal with\u00a0Prime Video in the U.S. and Canada<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0The 1% Club<\/em>, which Lauren Anderson, the head of AVOD original content and unscripted programming at Amazon MGM Studios, referred to as a \u201cfun and distinctive play-at-home game-show format where the questions aren\u2019t a test of general knowledge but an opportunity to showcase logic, brainpower and common sense. Contestants of all generations and skill sets have a genuine chance to win\u2014or, at least, brag to their friends.\u201d This followed news that the show is headed to\u00a0Turkey via Acun Medya<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fremantle, meanwhile, unveiled two new deals for the musical reality format\u00a0The Piano<\/em>, with\u00a0RTL 4 in the Netherlands and TV 2 in Denmark.<\/a>\u00a0The entertainment formats giant also announced at MIPCOM that it was taking on the rights to the comedy format\u00a0Thank God You\u2019re Here<\/em><\/a>, which has returned from a 14-year hiatus. Chris O\u2019Dell, head of global entertainment production at Fremantle, noted: \u201cBack in 2006, it quickly became the world\u2019s highest-selling comedy entertainment format, and now it\u2019s back and funnier than ever, which is a testament to the skillful team at Working Dog Productions. We can\u2019t wait to see who opens the iconic blue door next.\u201d<\/p>\n

While reboots remain key to the formats landscape, championing new ideas is still paramount. Banijay used MIPCOM to unveil a\u00a0new global accelerator program to support female creators with unscripted formats<\/a>. Banijay Launch is geared toward discovering and incubating untapped talent to support the next generation of global franchise-makers. It will provide selected women with mentorship by Banijay\u2019s global collective of creatives to aid them in developing new formats from concept to pitch to sale. Marco Bassetti, CEO of Banijay, noted, \u201cWith Banijay Launch, we are vested in spearheading a raft of new unscripted format ideas ideated by women, and in doing so, we hope to bring new voices and talent to the market with the potential of creating the next\u00a0Survivor<\/em>,\u00a0MasterChef<\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0Big Brother<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also on the hunt for new ideas, Media Ranch and Abhishek Rege\u2019s Crazy Maverick Films agreed to\u00a0co-develop, co-own and distribute a slate of paper formats<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in a crowded landscape, having formats that can deliver some celebrity buzz certainly helps. FOX Alternative Entertainment (FAE) closed deals for\u00a0two of its celebrity formats,\u00a0<\/a>Beat My Mini-Mes\u00a0<\/em><\/a>and\u00a0<\/a>Celebrity Masterpiece<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0Beat My Mini-Mes<\/em>\u00a0has been licensed by Spain\u2019s Antena 3, and ITV Studios\u2019 Armoza Formats has optioned the format for development in Israel. In the case of\u00a0Celebrity Masterpiece<\/em>, ITV Studios\u2019 Multistory Media will develop the format in the U.K., while Satisfaction will develop an adaptation for France. \u201cAn important component of our unscripted strategy is to identify and launch unforgettable formats that have universal appeal and can seamlessly travel to multiple territories,\u201d said Allison Wallach, president of unscripted programming at FOX Entertainment. \u201cThe early success of\u00a0Celebrity Masterpiece<\/em>\u00a0in Thailand and strong interest in\u00a0Beat My Mini-Mes<\/em>\u00a0generating even before its premiere are great indications of the power these two energetic formats hold.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also on the celebrity format front, Amuz Distribution secured a format license deal for the entertainment series\u00a0In Lieu of Flowers<\/em><\/a>\u00a0with We Make Productions for France and Belgium<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Korean formats continue to make headlines, with last week seeing\u00a0Something Special ink a deal with Germany\u2019s MoveMe<\/a>\u00a0for the mystery-reality competition\u00a0Still Alive<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Partnerships also emerged as a key theme in the formats space, with a\u00a0co-development pact between BBC Studios and Nippon TV<\/a>\u00a0for the comedy game-show format\u00a0Koso Koso<\/em>; Channel 4 co-commissioning\u00a0Made in Bondi<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(w.t.), a new version of the award-winning reality series\u00a0<\/a>Made in Chelsea<\/em><\/a>, with Australian broadcaster Seven Network; and the Israeli-based global studio\u00a0SIPUR and Ukraine\u2019s Heroes Formats<\/a>\u00a0aligning for the new cooking competition series\u00a0SUPERmarketCHEF<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Amid continued challenges in the scripted space, producers, broadcasters and platforms are seeking easier ways to bring local dramas and comedies to the screen, and formats are certainly one way to do that. All3Media International continues to see significant traction on its scripted formats slate, announcing a deal with\u00a0Banijay Asia for local versions of the hit crime drama\u00a0<\/a>Rellik<\/em><\/a>. Nippon TV signed a deal with the Turkish producer Medyap\u0131m for the scripted formats\u00a0Mother<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Woman \u2013 My Life for My Children \u2013<\/em>,\u00a0which will be localized in Arabic for MBC<\/a>. The Japanese media company also secured a deal for its\u00a0award-winning drama series\u00a0<\/a>Homeroom<\/em><\/a>\u00a0to be localized in Thailand<\/a>\u00a0in partnership with Juvenile (JUVE9). And Amuz Distribution made a format license deal with Tucker Tooley Entertainment for a\u00a0U.S. adaptation of\u00a0<\/a>The Boys<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n
