Mastiff Sweden and TV4 cut through with culinary showdown format 100 Knives

100 Knives faces a group of chefs with a series of challenges

MIPCOM: TV4 in Sweden has commissioned a primetime culinary format from Banijay-owned Mastiff Sweden.

100 Knives was co-developed with Bunim/Murray Productions, part of Banijay Americas and Smart Dog Media.

Originally unveiled in 2024 as a development collaboration between the three companies, the competition format has been picked up for series through a creative partnership with TV4.

100 Knives throws 100 chefs into a series of challenges and eliminations until the kitchen brigade is reshaped and only the strongest remain.

Mastiff Sweden is behind local version of formats including Survivor and Love is Blind Sweden, serving as the production partner on multiple other adaptations. The company also produces Best Singer, Over the Atlantic and Trash & Treasure.

100 Knives joins Banijay Entertainment’s all-new slate of original and entertaining formats for Mipcom this week, including Let’s Play Ball, Football Island, Villa of Temptations, Foodish and Lost & Found in the Lakes.
