Mediaset Distribution to showcase long-running courtroom show at Mipcom

Forum (Meet Me in Court) now features AI assistant Jeeves

Italian distributor Mediaset Distribution is leading its Mipcom slate with long-standing court programme Forum (Meet Me in Court) and the show’s new addition: AI humanoid assistant Jeeves.

One of the longest running courtroom shows on Italian television, Forum’s 42nd season will again be hosted by journalist Barbara Palombelli with the addition of Jeeves, a humanoid robot acting as an on-set assistant.

The robot is used as a starting point to explore the relationship between humans and artificial intelligence.

The show already has an established brand in Italy, built around real-life disputes, social issues and everyday conflicts brought before a judge. Its new season returned to the Mediaset-owned Italian channel Canale 5 in early September 2026.
