Banijay has inked a multi-territory deal with CJ ENM for the relationship format EXchange<\/em> and acquired multi-territory format rights to MBC\u2019s Bloody Game<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Launched in Korea last summer, EXchange<\/em> sees young couples who have split up live together for three weeks, with some hoping to reconnect and others ready to find a new love\u2014and no one allowed to reveal who their ex is. Through the deal, Banijay will represent the format across the Nordics, Spain, Portugal, Germany and Australia.<\/p>\n

Every evening in EXchange<\/em>, each person sends a text message to the person they\u2019re interested in. Though it\u2019s anonymous, it will reveal if it is from their ex or not. Mid-season, the couples and the senders of the texts are revealed. In the final episode, each single must announce who they\u2019d like to leave the show with.<\/p>\n

Carlotta Rossi Spencer, head of acquisitions at Banijay, said: \u201cThis relationship format has unbounded potential; it\u2019s a truly authentic show catering to a younger audience who long for real feelings and genuine love stories. CJ ENM has created numerous engaging formats which add twists to popular tropes, and EXchange<\/em> is a prime example. As past relationships are kept secret from the audience as well, the element of guessing had Korean viewers gripped, and we\u2019re expecting a huge amount of interest in this innovative format.\u201d<\/p>\n

Diane Min, head of format sales at CJ ENM, said: \u201cWe are excited to work with Banijay to bring EXchange<\/em> to multiple markets, one of our biggest and most successful non-scripted launches last year. This is a relatable format primarily dealing with love and relationships, which ordinary people experience throughout life\u2019s journey. I am confident the candidness of human emotions delivered in EXchange<\/em> will touch the audience\u2019s heart across the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

A competition reality series, Bloody Game<\/em> sees contestants live together in a secret house and face a series of challenges, with no contact from the outside world. To avoid elimination, the contestants use tactics, form alliances and engage in player-to-player conspiracies while competing in games. When evicted, they are sent to a secret room where they reside for the remainder of the game. However, if they succeed in a final chance to return upstairs for the Bloody Game<\/em>, they can still hope to walk away with the prize.<\/p>\n

The deal with MBC will see Banijay represent Bloody Game<\/em>\u00a0in nine countries across Europe, with the potential to be adapted in France, Germany, Italy, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Belgium and the Netherlands.\u00a0The format launched in Korea in November last year.<\/p>\n

Rossi Spencer said: \u201cWith real prize money on the line, the stakes are high in this uncompromising new survival game, where the winner takes it all. Packed with intriguing games and reality, Bloody Game<\/em> brings the much-admired creativity of recent Korean dramas to the unscripted world. It is a bold show which explores important themes. It\u2019s always brilliant to partner with producers around the world and bring their content to the global marketplace.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jean Hur, director of format sales at MBC, said: \u201cThere are numerous survival formats out there, but MBC\u2019s Bloody Game<\/em> is above the rest, packed with unique twists to absorb viewers in each episode and action which unfolds beyond anything you could imagine. We hope the show will follow the global path of other Korean formats which have traveled the world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
