ITV Studios launches 17 formats

ITV Studios will launch 17 entertainment, gameshow and reality formats at Mipcom next month, led by The Secret Life Of Students, Quiz Duel and The Line.

The company’s portfolio will be headed up by observational documentary The Secret Life Of Students/Teens, a Raw TV production for Channel 4.

The format combines traditional documentary filmmaking with a ‘digital rig’ (D:Rig) installed on participants’ phones that tracks all texts, calls and social media activity to build a narrative in real time.

Other new factual entertainment formats include: Who’s Doing the Dishes? (ITV Studios for ITV); history show 7 Days That Made… (Icon Films and GroupM Entertainment for Channel 5); fixed-rig documentary Doctors Behind Closed Doors (Knickerbockerglory for Channel 5) and Did You Know? (Potato for ITV).

The distributor is also launching observational documentary 24 Hours In Police Custody (The Garden for Channel 4); Black Economy (United TV for DR1 in Denmark); The Price Of Beauty (United TV for TV3 in Denmark) and docu-series Rolling Parliament (United TV for DR2 in Denmark).

Meanwhile, ITV Studios’ new gameshow formats are led by Quiz Duel and The Line.

Based on the QuizClash app created by FEO Media, Quiz Duel (ITV Studios Germany for ARD, where it airs as Quizduell) is a quizshow in which a team of friends goes head-to-head against the nation in a series of multiple-choice question rounds. Playing via the app, the audience can take part in real time.

The Line (High Noon Entertainment for GSN) invites hundreds of people to line up each day for a chance to win cash and prizes. The goal is to get to the Trivia Vault at the front of the line, where each contestant can attempt to win the jackpot by answering eight questions.

The firm’s other new quiz launches include Gift Wrapped (12 Yard for ITV) and Revenge of the Eggheads (12 Yard for BBC2).

On the entertainment side, new formats include Keep It In The Family (Over The Top Productions and ITV Studios for ITV), a new game show in which families work together to win prizes; dating show Stand By Your Man (ITV Studios and GroupM Entertainment for Channel 5) and Encore! (United TV for TV2 Charlie in Denmark).

In reality, ITV Studios will present Celebrity Super Spa (ITV Studios and GroupM Entertainment for Channel 5).

The company will also launch a handful of scripted formats to the market, including Rev (Big Talk for BBC1), Him & Her (Big Talk for BBC3) and Youngers (Big Talk for E4).
