TV 2 in Denmark has picked up the format rights for Alex Horne\u2019s comedy game show Taskmaster<\/em> from Avalon.<\/p>\n

The Danish commercial broadcaster has commissioned Metronome to produce 8×60-minute episodes. In addition, Sweden\u2019s public broadcaster SVT is set to make a second season of its local version, B\u00e4st i Test!<\/em> (Best in Test!<\/em>), which premiered earlier this year. Both the Danish version and the second season of the Swedish adaptation are due to be broadcast in 2018.<\/p>\n

Isobel Hughes, the director of distribution at Avalon, said: \u201cTaskmaster<\/em> has already proved to be a global success with local versions being made in the U.S. and Belgium and a second series now confirmed for SVT in Sweden. The show\u2019s combination of competition, ingenuity, comedy and creative challenges is compelling and entertaining viewing in any country and is sure to be equally popular with audiences in Denmark.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anette R\u00f8mer, the head of acquisitions and formats at TV 2, added: \u201cTV 2 Denmark is delighted to have secured Taskmaster<\/em> for our main channel. Resting on friendly competition, humor and wit, the program creates an atmosphere of Gem\u00fctlichkeit and \u2018hygge\u2019 which we know our viewers appreciate.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
