Seven.One Studios International is heading to this year’s MIPCOM with a strong lineup of high-profile new formats and scripted content. New to the Seven.One’s formats catalog is "Match My Ex", a bold new twist on the traditional reality dating format, in which celebrity singles hand over the matchmaking reins to their ex-lovers. Produced by Madame Zheng, the show has been a big hit for commissioning platforms Joyn (Germany), Joyn (Austria) and One+ (Switzerland) and has been commissioned for a second season.
Debuting at the market is "Play That Song Again", a primetime competition format produced by Herriemakers for RTL (Netherlands). In this nostalgia-packed show, four contemporary singers compete to perform the best version of a legendary 80s song originally recorded by a generation-defining star such as Madonna, Michael Jackson or Cyndi Lauper. A studio audience decides who wins the coveted Play That Song Again Gold Record.
Also on the Seven.One Mipcom roster is "The Race", a fast-paced adventure reality competition in which five well-travelled content creators compete against each other to reach a distant finish line first – a destination that is not revealed until the race begins. The second season of The Race was in the top 10 of ProSiebenSat.1's streaming service Joyn for nine weeks. A third season has already been commissioned and will be produced by studio flitz.
As the world’s most successful dating format continues to go from strength to strength, two bold new "Married at First Sight" spin-offs will be introduced to buyers at Mipcom. In "Married at First Sight: The Last Resort", first produced by July August Productions for Keshet Channel 12 (Israel), twelve singles, all of whom who have been previously married, and some with families of their own, marry strangers and attempt to build a relationship surrounded by expert guidance and a supportive community of fellow couples. While in "Married at Second Sight", twelve singles meet not at the altar… but at their engagement ceremony. After jetting off to a dreamy island, these scientifically matched couples take a leap of faith and get engaged – unseen. With just three weeks until decision day, they must discover whether they are engaged to be married or just playing with fire. "Married at Second Sight" made its debut on Joyn and SAT.1 (Germany). It was produced by Redseven Entertainment
Seven.One Studios International will also be bringing over 200 hours of new English-language formats tape to Mipcom, including "Married at First Sight USA" season 19, "Married at First Sight UK", season 10, "Married at First Sight Australia" season 12 and first seasons of "Stranded on Honeymoon Island UK" and "Stranded on Honeymoon Island Australia."
