Warner Bros. International Television Production (WBITVP) will be attending MIPCOM with a selection of entertainment, reality and scripted formats.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe global appetite for high-concept, high-stakes formats is as strong as ever, and The Final Circle<\/em> and Reality Kings on Safari<\/em> deliver on that scale and energy, with viewers flocking to them as they launch locally,\u201d said Andr\u00e9 Renaud, group VP of formats and finished sales. \u201cAudiences are actually exploring adventure and passion like this in a variety of ways, including on the open road of World\u2019s Wildest Race<\/em>, through the lens of car culture in Custom Cars <\/em>and\u00a0in the powerful storytelling of series like The Murder Club<\/em>, The Unheard Tapes<\/em> or Special Rescue<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n The Final Circle<\/em>, developed by Satisfaction for TF1 in France, sees 50 players begin on an outer ring of a 360-degree studio arena. Their goal is to survive each round and move forward. As they advance, the questions get harder and the circle tightens until only one contestant remains.<\/p>\n From WBITVP Netherlands, producer of the Reality Queens<\/em> franchise for Videoland, comes Reality Kings on Safari<\/em>, which sees a group of male reality stars swap social media likes and luxury for survival in the wild. They are split into rival camps with no phones, no home comforts and no easy way out. They must navigate the wild as challenges test their brains and brawn.<\/p>\n World\u2019s Wildest Race<\/em>, originally produced by Collectif for Kanal 5 and HBO Max Denmark, sends two celebrity teams out on a road trip challenge. As they navigate spectacular routes and destinations, arriving first doesn\u2019t necessarily mean victory. Bonus challenges along the way can turn the tables in an instant, shaving hours off the clock or sending them off course.<\/p>\n Also in the WBITVP lineup are Custom Cars<\/em>, by Ricochet for Quest in the U.K.; The Murder Club<\/em>, from Wall to Wall for BBC Two; The Unheard Tapes<\/em>, from Wall to Wall for BBC One; and Special Rescue<\/em>, from WBITVP Finland for Yle.<\/p>\n Custom Cars<\/em> takes viewers into the world of outrageous modified motors and the personalities who make them. The Murder Club<\/em> takes forgotten cold cases of history and sheds new light to unmask the killers who were never caught. The Unheard Tapes<\/em> retells the pivotal moments of history using the real voices of those who lived them. Special Rescue<\/em> sees adults with learning disabilities join a fire station\u2019s volunteer unit and demonstrate that anyone can become a hero.<\/p>\n The scripted formats slate is led by Oh, Otto!<\/em>, a story about love, belonging and finding yourself when life falls apart. Originally produced for Streamz in Belgium, the format centers on Otto, whose first love ends and best friend moves away, leaving him alone for the first time. Heartbroken, restless and searching for connection, Otto attends unexpected parties and goes on late-night adventures, realizing that growing up rarely happens on schedule.<\/p>\n Other scripted formats on offer are The Twelve<\/em>, The Divine Monster<\/em> and Double Life<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to be launching a strong and varied slate of unscripted and scripted formats, with ideas that can resonate and be reimagined by buyers around the world,\u201d Renaud said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Warner Bros.
