Most Wanted sees a group of celebrities escape from a high-security prison before embarking on a five-day run across the country. Stripped of phones, money and modern conveniences, they must evade capture while a team of professional hunters uses advanced technology, intelligence gathering and public information to track them down. The result is an immersive event format that unfolds almost in real time, creating continuous audience engagement across both broadcast and digital platforms.
Florence Duhayot, Managing Director of Programming at M6, said: “Most Wanted perfectly embodies M6’s DNA: to innovate, surprise, and bring people together. We are convinced that this format has all the qualities needed to establish itself as a must-watch event.”
Sebastian van Barneveld, Director Global Distribution at Talpa Studios: “Most Wanted is an unique event format that excels at converting real-time audience interest into viewership. By airing shortly after production, it creates a powerful content discovery engine that drives audiences from social conversation to the broadcaster’s platform. Following its success in the Netherlands, Hungary and Germany, we could not imagine a better partner than M6 to bring the format to France.”
How does it work?
In this competition, a group of celebrities will escape in a spectacular way from a high-security prison somewhere in the country. However, this has not gone unnoticed by the three guards, who immediately give chase. For five days, the guards chase the celebrity fugitives, who must stay out of sight without any modern conveniences. Stripped of phones, money, and resources, the fugitives must find places to sleep, eat, and travel unnoticed – all while wearing bright orange prison jumpsuits. Meanwhile, the guards have the upper hand, equipped with gadgets like GPS trackers, drones, and real-time travel information as they hunt from their mobile base, determined to capture the fugitives before time runs out. Can the famous fugitives manage to evade capture for five days, or will the three hunters outsmart them one by one?
