Format

Banijay Entertainment is going to present Who’s Guilty?, a fast-paced comedy-crime format created by Metronome, part of Banijay Nordic, for DR1. Joining the business’ ambitious London TV Screenings line-up, the series combines on-location crime capers at iconic national locations, with quick-fire improv comedy in a courtroom setting, mixing quickfire comedy with a playful, unpredictable investigation. The development of Who’s Guilty? was supported by Banijay Entertainment’s Creative Fund, an investment initiative available to producers across the footprint.

In each episode, a troupe of comedians is thrown into a fictional crime and hauled before a courtroom in front of a celebrity jury. One comedian is secretly assigned to play the guilty party; the others are innocent, but they all work together to convince the jury to convict one of them of the crime. Through improvised interrogations, reenactments, alibis, and unexpected twists, the comedians must talk their way out of trouble, while the guilty stay hidden in plain sight.

Tina Christensen, Managing Director, Metronome says: “Comedy is picking up pace with audiences again, and we’re seeing a real appetite for bold, playful formats to bring people together through laughter. With Who’s Guilty?, our ambition was to create something genuinely original, with a fresh, high-energy blend of mystery and improv that celebrates incredible comedic talent. It’s a feelgood title designed for big laughs, and we’re proud to launch it with DR1.”

James Townley, Chief Creative Officer, Development Banijay Entertainment says: “Who’s Guilty? takes the classic guessing game and throws in comedy, crime and chaos. The spontaneity keeps viewers hooked, with no one knowing what will happen next. It’s a brilliant talent vehicle, giving performers space to build characters and show real comedic instinct. It’s exactly the kind of family-friendly, broad audience offering that resonates internationally and we’re proud to showcase it at this year’s London TV Screenings.”
