Block Out begins European travels

Gameshow format Block Out

Producers in Europe have done deals for Red Arrow Studios International’s gameshow format Block Out, co-created with Nippon TV in Japan.

The physical gameshow challenges contestants to stay on a wall – or have a great fall.

Endemol Shine Iberia in Spain and Portugal, Tin Can in the Netherlands and GM6 in France have done deals with Red Arrow to get the show remade in Europe.

Created by Nippon TV and Red Arrow Studios for Channel 7 in Thailand, the format has also been sold to VTV in Vietnam and ANTV in Indonesia.

Bo Stehmeier, president of Red Arrow Studios International, said: “Part of our formats strategy is creating and representing energetic, bold and hilarious studio-based shows like Block Out, which the whole family can enjoy together.”

The European deals were concluded by Tobias Schulze, VP sales, France and German-speaking territories and Maria Arroyo, senior sales manager Italy, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Israel and Latin America.
