The two then learn a duet and return to the show to perform it, competing against the other newly formed couples.<\/p>\n<p>The format will make its debut on ITV and ITV Hub, with Oti Mabuse (<em>The Masked Dancer<\/em>, <em>Dancing on Ice<\/em>) as presenter. Banijay Rights will distribute the tape and format.<\/p>\n<p>Simon Cox, executive VP of acquisitions at Banijay Rights, said: \u201c<em>Romeo &amp; Duet<\/em> is a heartwarming extravaganza that fuses dating and music in a way that hasn\u2019t been seen before on the small screen. Mel Crawford and the team at Goat Films have delivered an amazing spectacle, and Banijay Rights is looking forward to taking this show to a whole new viewership worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mel Crawford, founder of Goat Films, added: \u201cI\u2019m delighted to be working in partnership with Banijay on the worldwide rollout of this wonderful, joyous format. Since our first conversations about <em>Romeo &amp; Duet<\/em>, Banijay have been great champions of the show, and I know they will help us make this a global hit. Here at Goat, we are incredibly proud of what we\u2019ve delivered to ITV and can\u2019t wait for U.K. audiences to see it on screen for the first time on April 16.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Banijay Rights has acquired the global distribution rights to the new singing dating show format Romeo &amp; Duet ahead of its U.K. premiere on April 16.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":8914,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1033,2486],"class_list":["post-8913","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-banijay-rights","tag-goat-films","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Banijay Rights Picks Up Romeo &amp; Duet - 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\/banijay-rights-picks-up-romeo-duet\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Banijay Rights Picks Up Romeo &amp; Duet - TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Banijay Rights has acquired the global distribution rights to the new singing dating show format Romeo &amp; Duet ahead of its U.K. premiere on April 16.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/banijay-rights-picks-up-romeo-duet\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-04-13T14:43:13+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/07\/BanijayRights-RomeoDuet-0422.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"338\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/banijay-rights-picks-up-romeo-duet\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/banijay-rights-picks-up-romeo-duet\/\",\"name\":\"Banijay Rights Picks Up Romeo &amp; Duet - TVFORMATS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-04-13T14:43:13+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-04-13T14:43:13+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/banijay-rights-picks-up-romeo-duet\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/banijay-rights-picks-up-romeo-duet\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/banijay-rights-picks-up-romeo-duet\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Banijay Rights Picks Up Romeo &amp; Duet\"}]},{\"@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\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
