Format

Seven.One Studios International has secured a new wave of international format deals, strengthening its unscripted portfolio with a combination of long-running reality brands, returning comedy formats and fresh licensing agreements across Europe and North America. Leading the latest sales is lifestyle format Buying Blind, which continues to expand across Europe with new commissions and renewals. RTL Netherlands has ordered a landmark tenth season while also acquiring episodes from the Flemish Belgian adaptation. Play Media has commissioned a ninth season for Flanders and licensed episodes from the Dutch version. Banijay has also secured an option for the format in French-speaking Belgium.
Originally created by Kinetic Content and first produced by Snowman Productions for TV3 Denmark, Buying Blind continues to benefit from strong demand as broadcasters seek lifestyle formats with broad audience appeal.

In Italy, Sky Uno has renewed culinary competition My Restaurant Rocks, locally produced as 4 Ristoranti, for a twelfth season while also licensing additional episodes of the format. Originally produced by Good Times Fernsehproduktion for kabel eins in Germany, the format has generated multiple long-running adaptations across Europe.
Comedy titles from the distributor's catalog are also attracting renewed international interest. Schiller Street has been commissioned by Greece's ERT for a 40-episode season that launched earlier this year, while Banijay has optioned the format for Italy. Originally produced by Hurricane Fernsehproduktion for SAT.1 in Germany, the improvisational comedy format has been adapted in more than 20 territories. Meanwhile, comedy gameshow Clever! has been recommissioned by Télé-Québec for a seventeenth season comprising 72 episodes, alongside an additional 25 special editions.

Reality dating format Match My Ex, which debuted at MIPCOM 2025 and is currently airing its second season on Joyn in Germany, is also expanding internationally after being optioned by Range Studios for North America. The format follows celebrity singles who leave the matchmaking process in the hands of their former partners.
Elsewhere, TTV Poland has renewed feel-good reality format Real Men for a ninth season. Originally produced by MakeItBee for DR1 Denmark, the series follows overweight participants on a transformative health and wellness journey and has already been adapted in more than seven territories.
Science magazine format Galileo will also return to Estonia after Kanal 2, part of Duo Media Networks, commissioned a new 30-episode season. One of ProSieben's flagship brands for more than 25 years, the format has been sold in over 30 international markets.

Commenting on the latest deals, Tobias Schulze, SVP Global Sales at Seven.One Studios International, said: “We continue to see strong demand from broadcasters and platforms for proven format brands that can be successfully adapted for local audiences. From the resurgence of beloved comedy formats being reimagined for contemporary audiences to established lifestyle franchises, these deals demonstrate the enduring appeal of distinctive, scalable IP. It's encouraging to see both new local versions and recommissions gaining momentum across international markets, reflecting the confidence buyers have in our catalog’s ability to engage audiences and deliver consistent performance."
