The show, which looks at four parents with different social backgrounds and lifestyles and rates their child-rearing methods, was originally commissioned by D8 in France.

In Finland, Melonen Media has commissioned 10 weekly episodes from Banijay, while in Turkey, Kanal Kurk has ordered a daily adaptation with an initial commission of 45 episodes from HMO. In Russia, CTC will produce a pilot this summer.
