Marta Balaga RTL Group-owned super indie Fremantle is bringing a brace of new and upbeat formats to this year’s London TV Screenings, where they will join a catalog which includes some of the biggest properties in the world, such as “Got Talent,” “Farmer Wants a Wife” or “Family Feud.” The new titles are described as “feel-good,” many are family friendly, in different ways, but they also underscore Fremantle’s philosophy of creating, producing and distributing entertainment, as well as drama, documentaries and film for a broad range of audiences. “There really is something for everyone,” said Andrew Llinares, Fremantle’s newly appointed director of global entertainment, who replaces Rob Clark as director of global entertainment from this March.
Joining established franchises, new format “The Second Chance Ex-periment” – from Fremantle Portugal – will see divorced or separated couples reunite.
Given a second chance to repair their relationships, they move in together for seven weeks and take on various “personalized challenges,” overseen by therapists.
