Marble Mania rolls into France with TF1

Marble Mania

French commercial broadcaster TF1 has taken local adaptation rights to family gameshow Marble Mania, marking the third international deal for the Talpa format.

Marble Media debuted on Talpa-owned network SBS6 in the Netherlands earlier this year, with John de Mol-owned Dutch media company Talpa also producing the format.

TF1’s version of the show is set to air this summer, with Talpa Entertainment Productions and Arthur Essebag’s French prodco Satisfaction collaborating on a four-episode run in France.

The format features three celebrities competing to win money for charity by completing a variety of marble-based challenges.

SBS6 renewed the original Dutch show for a second season at the beginning of this month, while other local adaptation deals have been sealed in Germany and Belgium.
