New Gameshow Format: UK & US Broadcasters Unite
24 Apr
Summary
- UK producers Expectation and Plegazoid won a competitive tender.
- A new unscripted gameshow pilot will be developed for BBC and NBC.
- The format aims for global appeal with an innovative twist.
UK-based independent production companies Expectation and Plegazoid have emerged victorious from a highly competitive tender process. They have been selected to develop an unscripted gameshow format that boasts an innovative and compelling twist on the studio-based gameshow. This development is a result of a continued transatlantic pact between the BBC and NBCUniversal, which previously co-commissioned "The Traitors" and "Destination X."
The selected concept is designed to capture audiences in both the UK and the United States, with a particular emphasis on formats that can utilize a shared location or production hub. Expectation and Plegazoid will now proceed to create a non-broadcast pilot for both broadcasters. Expectation, known for productions like "Clarkson's Farm," and Plegazoid, which launched "Time in Money," will co-produce the NBC version with Universal Television Alternative Studio.
