Banijay today confirms WeiT Media will bring Возможно Все! (Anything Goes) to Russia 1, marking the format’s debut in the region.
Anything Goes sees comedians and hilarious well-known faces carry out mime, musical, dance and improvisation tasks, as well as quizzes based on specific challenges. Packed with great sketches and numerous laugh-out-loud moments this big studio entertainment show is purely for the viewer’s enjoyment.

Anything Goes marks its 10th anniversary this year and continues to have great success in France where it is produced by format owners Satisfaction, airing its 10th season on TF1 this year. The format has been adapted in 28 territories including the US, Mexico and Italy. In 2021 the local Italian version, produced by Endemol Shine Italy, achieved all-time high results for the season six premiere with over 2.5 million viewers and has since been commissioned for a seventh season. Mexico also aired a new spin-off Me Caigo de Risa: Gala Disfuncional as well as its seventh season. The series currently is broadcast by Televisa in Mexico as Me Caigo de Risa, where production on its eighth season is currently underway.

Yulia Sumacheva, Managing Director of WeiT Media comments: “The audience can expect to be entertained with classic comedy moments and sketch shows guaranteed to bring laughter. Anything Goes compliments our ever-expanding slate of entertainment shows which include All Together Now, Mystery Duets, and the recent return of Fear Factor.”

Lucas Green, Banijay Global Head of Content Operations at Banijay says: “The Russian entertainment space has gone from strength to strength and this commission taps into the trend for fun, upbeat formats. However, it also offers a unique and innovative angle for viewers, as in Anything Goes, there are no eliminations or winners.”
