Fremantle has acquired global production rights to the Japanese mega-hit original comedy format, Freeze.

The rules of the game are simple – players must enter a closed room and simply “freeze” until the presenter tells them otherwise. With tricks and traps set along the way, such as flying mannequins and giant popping balloons, only those who remain completely still will get the chance to battle it out for a place in the grand finale.

Vasha Wallace, EVP Global Acquisitions and Development at Fremantle, said: “We premiered Freeze at London Screenings and it had an absolutely fantastic response, with interest from our international partners around the world. When the team at FANY Studio first showed us a clip of Freeze we all thought it was hilarious and we knew this would resonate with audiences everywhere."

Originally developed and produced by FANY Studio and Yoshimoto Kogyo for Prime Video & Amazon Studios, the unique high-energy game show has been entertaining audiences for two seasons on Amazon Prime.
