Banijay Entertainment has acquired English-language format rights to "100", Asia’s latest hit musical gameshow.
Co-developed by The Masked Singer creator, Park Wonwoo of Ditum Korea, alongside Japanese broadcaster ABC Japan (Asahi Broadcasting Group Holdings Corporation), and content incubator Empire of Arkadia (EOA), "100" is now set for adaptation for English-speaking adaptation through Banijay Entertainment labels.
Launched as event television in Korea and Japan, "100" is a fresh, multi-generational singing gameshow where teams of amateur and celebrity performers must have a combined age of exactly 100, and aim to score a perfect 100 from the audience and panel. The format becomes a hilarious musical guessing game celebrating age diversity and community.
Helen Greatorex, Head of Format Acquisitions at Banijay Entertainment says: “'100' is a joyful, primetime celebration for the whole family. It’s a perfect complement to our portfolio, offering distinctive, scalable music entertainment, that’s fun to guess along with. The original format fuses Japanese and Korean creativity to create a universally appealing concept.”
Fotini Paraskakis (EOA), Park Wonwoo (Diturn) and Nami Komo (from ABC TV) add: “Partnering with Banijay Entertainment to bring our format to English-language markets is a key milestone in the international journey of '100'. Built on a premise of music and fun, viewers simply love the show, making this perfect entertainment for all audiences around the world”
