Endemol Shine Group and Universal Television Alternative Studio (UTAS) have inked their first series deal for the game show format The Wall<\/em> in Australia.<\/p>\n In each episode of The Wall<\/em>, questions must be answered correctly and balls must bounce in the correct order for contestants to win a cash prize. Endemol Shine Australia has been commissioned by Seven to produce a local version of the hit format, which was originally made for NBC in the U.S. by Glassman Media and SpringHill Entertainment in association with Universal Television Alternative Studio.<\/p>\n Meredith Ahr, the president of Universal Television Alternative Studio, said: \u201cWhen we were envisioning the type of show we would want to develop with the launch of UTAS, we sought a dynamic, engaging and universally appealing format that could resonate across the world. The Wall<\/em> has proven to be just that and we are thrilled that Australian audiences will get to experience this high-energy and completely original game show.”<\/p>\n Endemol Shine Australia CEO Mark Fennessy noted: \u201cThe Wall<\/em> is a wildly unpredictable, fast and simple game show where fortunes are won and lost on the bounce of a ball. At four stories high, it\u2019s big-time event television at its finest. We’re delighted to partner with Seven in bringing this huge international hit to life.\u201d<\/p>\n Lisa Perrin, the CEO of creative networks, commented: \u201cThe Wall<\/em> represents Endemol Shine Group at its best, working with creative teams around the world in bringing high-quality entertainment to global audiences.
