In Canada, Attraction and Productions D\u00e9ferlantes will produce two seasons in collaboration with Quebecor Content.<\/p>\n<p><em>Hitster<\/em> is a high-energy game show that blends music trivia and pop culture nostalgia. Two teams, pairing players from different generations, go head-to-head to build their musical timeline by placing hit songs in chronological order. The first team with ten tracks placed correctly on their timeline progresses to the suspenseful prize money final.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Hitster<\/em> has already proven it can spark conversation and bring people together in their living rooms\u2014and that\u2019s exactly what great entertainment does,\u201d said Andrew Llinares, Fremantle\u2019s director of global entertainment. \u201cIt\u2019s a brilliantly social, instantly playable format that taps into nostalgia and music passion across generations. Building on our partnership with NewBe and Jumbo Group, with these first broadcast partners on board, there\u2019s real excitement around scaling the format internationally and bringing an instant party into homes around the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSeeing <em>Hitster<\/em> evolve from a bestselling party game into an international TV format is an incredibly proud moment for us,\u201d said Isa Lana, CMO at Jumbo Group. \u201cWhat started as a simple idea, bringing generations together through music, has grown into a global brand with real cultural impact. The TV adaptation captures the instinctive, feel-good energy that made the game a success, while amplifying the emotion and shared moments that music uniquely creates. We\u2019re excited to deepen our partnership with Fremantle and NewBe as we scale <em>Hitster<\/em> to audiences around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith Jumbo Group, <em>Hitster<\/em> became a worldwide hit, and that gave us a strong foundation to build from together with Fremantle,\u201d said Jeroen Koopman, founder and CEO of NewBe. \u201cFrom the start, our creative focus was clear: preserve the heart and DNA of the brand, while translating it into a television format that feels true to the original game experience. Seeing the TV version now begin a similar international journey with launches in three territories is a proud moment for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fremantle\u2019s Hitster has been commissioned in the Netherlands, Germany and Canada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7389,"featured_media":15678,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[2808,1482,4717,4719,4721,4720,4718],"class_list":["post-15679","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-andrew-llinares","tag-fremantle","tag-hitster","tag-isa-lana","tag-jeroen-koopman","tag-jumbo-group","tag-newbe","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Fremantle\u2019s Hitster Receives International Series Orders - TVFORMATS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/fremantles-hitster-receives-international-series-orders-2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Fremantle\u2019s Hitster Receives International Series Orders - TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Fremantle\u2019s Hitster has been commissioned in the Netherlands, Germany and Canada.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/fremantles-hitster-receives-international-series-orders-2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-02-26T17:10:36+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-02-26T17:10:58+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/02\/3-HITSTER-226.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"394\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Kloudia Sakowski\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Kloudia Sakowski\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/fremantles-hitster-receives-international-series-orders-2\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/fremantles-hitster-receives-international-series-orders-2\/\",\"name\":\"Fremantle\u2019s Hitster Receives International Series Orders - TVFORMATS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2026-02-26T17:10:36+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-02-26T17:10:58+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/0c0fb596604e018568d0e01fe463109b\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/fremantles-hitster-receives-international-series-orders-2\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/fremantles-hitster-receives-international-series-orders-2\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/fremantles-hitster-receives-international-series-orders-2\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Fremantle\u2019s Hitster Receives International Series Orders\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\",\"name\":\"TVFORMATS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/0c0fb596604e018568d0e01fe463109b\",\"name\":\"Kloudia Sakowski\",\"description\":\"Kloudia Sakowski is the associate editor of World Screen.
