It became one of the highest-rated new unscripted show launches in 2024 and is commissioned for a full series in the first half of 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The format follows a dementia patient whose families gather mementos and a favorite song to help them recall the past. Together, they ride on a Memory Bus filled with these deeply personal mementos that reveal long forgotten life moments for each of the participants. The show then steps into the studio with an emotional Duet performance by the patient and family member, followed with a heartfelt tribute song to the participant from popular singing artists.<\/p>\n<p>Jin Woo Hwang, co-founder, president and executive producer for Something Special, said: \u201cIt is truly an exciting moment for <em>Unforgettable Duet<\/em>, which we believe is an exceptional format filled with love and couldn\u2019t wait to take it globally.
