SevenOne Entertainment joins The 1% Club in German remake of BBCS show

Gameshow format The 1% Club

SevenOne Entertainment Group, parent of Germany’s Sat.1 and ProSieben channels, is adapting BBC Studios gameshow format The 1% Club.

The channel to air the adaptation is not yet confirmed but it is likely to be Sat.1, according to a BBC Studios representative.

The German adaptation will be produced by BBC Studios Germany and marks the fifth international version of the format after it was picked up by France Televisions, Kan in Israel, RTL in the Netherlands and Spain’s Atresmedia Television.

Originally created by Magnum Media for ITV in the UK, The 1% Club puts the nation’s intelligence to the test, with contestants answering a series of questions that can only be answered using logic, reasoning skills and common sense.

The game begins with questions that 90% of the population would get right and continues until the final question that only 1% of the country can solve. If successful, the contestant will earn a place in The 1% Club: an elite group of people who can say they’re smarter than 99% of the population.

Hannes Hiller, senior VP of content development for Sat.1 and ProSieben, said: “Magnum Media in the UK has created a major hit. The 1% Club is the perfect family entertainment. This quiz is not about classical knowledge – it is about logical thinking.”
