Format

Red Arrow Studios International has signed a wave of international deals for titles in its latest format slate, including the  relationship format Love for the Ages, the hit new social experiment series Old People’s Home for Teenagers and the headline grabbing new factual entertainment format Hold the Front Page.

Love for the Ages, a new take on the relationship format, and originally produced by Kinetic Content for Tplus (US), has been optioned by ZPR Media (Poland) and Banijay, in a multi-territory deal covering the Nordics, Portugal, Italy, the Netherlands and France. The show sees three middle-aged married couples, each at a crossroad in their relationships, attempt to inject some youthful energy back into their lives by swapping their spouses for partners 20 years younger. Love for the Ages premieres on Tplus on December 15, 2022.

Additionally, the format of Old People’s Home for Teenagers, the compelling new social experiment series originally produced by Endemol Shine Australia for ABC Australia, has been optioned by Banijay for Spain and by Klima Media for Poland. The series – one of the most successful factual entertainment series for the ABC in Australia this year – is a spinoff to the multi award-winning series, Old People’s Home for 4 Year Olds, a CPL Productions format, which has already been adapted by Banijay companies in territories including Spain and Australia, and has just received a commission in Poland, where it will be produced by Klima Media for TV PULS.

The fun new factual entertainment format, Hold the Front Page has also been optioned by Aller Studios for Finland and Nexiko for Sweden. Originally produced by CPL Productions for Sky Max and NOW (UK), the format sees two celebrities set off around the country in search of scoops, scandals and surprising stories as they explore the unique and often sensational world of local news. Hold the Front Page will premiere in the UK in 2023.
