Fox Entertainment Group Pilots ‘Young Again’; De-Aged Contestants Date As Their Younger Selves In Format From ‘The Masked Singer’ Creator — MIP London

Fox Entertainment Group is turning back time with a new international format pilot titled Young Again. The show comes from The Masked Singer creator Wonwoo Park and uses tech to de-age senior contestants who then embark on dates as younger versions of themselves.

Nathalie Wogue, SVP, Global Formats, at Fox Entertainment Group shared a sneak peek at the show during a Deadline-moderated session with other formats execs, which took place on the morning of the first-ever MIP London.

Fox is out to market with the format and looking for partners. Notably, the show is not necessarily destined for the Fox broadcast network and could end up getting made in an international market first.

Fox has a first-look development deal with Wonwoo Park, who brought it the idea, Wogue explained. “The Masked Singer is still one of [the Fox network’s] biggest shows, and also the one that’s representative of our DNA.
