Including a hotly anticipated game adaptation, a Japanese culinary-dating combo, a gameshow about assumptions and a zombie apocalypse-inspired show
Formats from Japan, Germany, the US and the Netherlands make up this year’s Hot Picks heading to Mipcom, representing some of the freshest ideas at the market.
Nippon TV’s Love On The Menu brings the tried-and-tested dating and professional cookery formats together in a unique new way for international buyers, while NBC Universal’s hotly anticipated screen adaptation of Wordle is making its bow in Cannes and is sure to be an in-demand pick.
From Germany’s ZDF Studios comes Neo Match Up, which looks to tackle long-held assumptions and beliefs, while John de Mol’s Talpa Studios has Caught In The Middle, a format whose origins lie in what you might do in a zombie apocalypse.
