Corden makes Late entry in France

Rod Stewart and James Corden in Carpool Karaoke

The Late Late Show With James Corden is heading to France for the first time, after a music broadcaster secured rights to the CBS series.

The late-night talkshow, which has spawned the Carpool Karaoke format spin-off, will be available weeknights on music-focused MCM from September.

The talker, which features exclusive sketches and interviews, is produced by CBS Productions and distributed worldwide by CBS Studios International. Ben Winston and Rob Crabbe are executive producers.

It has already been sold to Sky in the UK and RTL CBS Entertainment in Asia as well as RTL II in Germany.
