Produced and co-developed by Fremantle France for TF1 France, the recently launched show sees celebrities participate in a mystery game in which they must unmask the ‘Master of the Game’, an enigmatic figure who remains hidden and masked while orchestrating the entire experience.

Exposed (Strong Productions for Denmark’s P3), is a social reality concept in which the social media posts of celebrities are projected onto a giant screen. How does their real life differ from their digital footprint?

Heist Academy (Monster for NRK Norway), sees 10 celebrities compete to join three top comedians in staging a bank robbery, learning criminal skills along the way. The Hiding Game (Monster for NRK), meanwhile, supersizes childhood game hide-and-seek for adult competitors.

The Lost Ones: Ultimate Decisions (Strong Productions for TV2 Denmark) is a sequel to last year’s The Lost One and is an adventure reality format blending survival and high-stakes strategic gameplay. Finally, Couple to Throuple (Naked for Peacock, US) follows four curious couples through the world of polyamory as they experiment with bringing a third partner into their relationship.

Andrew Llinares, director of global entertainment, Fremantle, said: “We continue to champion exciting and creative concepts with broad, universal appeal that our international partners are looking for – these shows are truly adaptable for all platforms and budgets.”

Additionally, in advance of Mipcom Fremantle has sold a drama package deal to Filmin, a Spanish VOD platform that offers European series and films, along with classics and contemporary documentaries.

The agreement includes Swedish filmmaker Tomas Alfredson’s (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) modern adaptation of Ingmar Bergman’s infidelity drama Faithless, and BAFTA-winning actress Rebecca Hall’s thriller The Listeners which is coming to BBC One and BBC iPlayer this November.

The deal also includes Victor Levin’s Alice & Jack; crime thriller Herrhausen – The Banker and the Bomb; and Little Bird, which tackles the Canadian government policy known as the Sixties Scoop.
