Bassem Youssef Helming Health Reality Series With Propagate Selling Egyptian satirist Bassem Youssef is launching a reality series in which best friends, couples and family members are flown to a remote exotic island in Abu Dhabi to face their biggest fear: learning to become healthy.
Propagate International has launched sales at Mipcom Cannes on The Reset, which will see contestants put through an immersive, medically progressive plant-based wellness program that seems impossible at first, but within days completely changes their minds, bodies, and souls.
Each episode follows one couple on their journey as they are pushed outside their comfort zone. Propagate is selling this week and Tom Forman (Extreme Makeover: Home Edition) is producing.
Youssef is a comedian satirist and former cardiologist who has previously been compared to The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart. He hosted Al Bernameg, a first-of-its-kind political satire show in the Middle East.
