TV Asahi and Youngest Media Group have joined forces to introduce a star-studded physical game show format titled Celebrity Fight Club. This fresh concept, inspired by TV Asahi's classic hit Challengers on Fire, has been reimagined by the Youngest Media Group team in Los Angeles.
The original Challengers on Fire, a top-rated TV Asahi show that aired for five years with over 190 episodes, served as the foundation for this exciting new venture. The revamped format taps into pop culture, pitting celebrity "rivals" against each other in a lively, family-friendly, and humor-filled competition fueled by their social media followings.
In each episode, two celebrity contestants bring their devoted supporters to the studio for a series of entertaining physical challenges, determining once and for all which star boasts the "best" fanbase. This dynamic game show will be pitched for distribution in the US and internationally.
Youngest Media Group LLC, led by producer Ed October, was established to acquire the IP assets/catalog of Youngest Media Ltd. in London. This acquisition included the rights to over 15 series, such as Game of Clones (MTV, C4) and Small Fortune (ITV, NBC), along with a range of formats, including collaborations with TV Asahi. The company currently enjoys partnerships with major production houses, studios, and A-list talents.
