Warner Bros. International Television Production (WBITVP) has announced an exciting lineup of new formats for MIPCOM 2025, featuring a diverse array of entertainment, reality, and scripted programming. This slate aims to push creative boundaries while providing global broadcasters and platforms with fresh storytelling opportunities across various genres.

The lineup includes high-stakes game shows, survival challenges, gripping cold-case investigations, and bold relationship dramas. One of the highlights is The Final Circle, created by Satisfaction for TF1 in France. This format tests players’ brainpower through challenges involving memory, logic, language, calculation, and visual skills. Fifty contestants start on the outer edge of a 360-degree studio arena, facing increasingly difficult questions as the circle tightens. The last competitor standing competes in a high-stakes finale that combines speed, strategy, and intellect.

From the Netherlands, the producers of Reality Queens present Reality Kings on Safari for Videoland. This format swaps luxury lifestyles for survival in the wild, as male reality stars are divided into rival camps without access to phones or modern comforts. They must rely on their wits, strength, and resilience to outlast both the elements and each other.

Adventure takes center stage with World’s Wildest Race, produced by Collectif for Kanal 5 and HBO Max Denmark. This format features celebrity duos embarking on epic road trips across stunning destinations, where friendship and fun are just as important as winning. With bonus challenges that can change the race’s outcome at any moment, the series promises unpredictability and excitement.

Other factual and reality formats in the lineup include Custom Cars, a UK-based series by Ricochet for Quest, exploring extreme automotive modifications and the characters behind them; The Murder Club, produced by Wall to Wall for BBC Two, which revisits forgotten cold cases to identify killers who escaped justice; The Unheard Tapes for BBC One, also from Wall to Wall, which brings pivotal historical moments to life through the voices of those who experienced them; and Special Rescue, from WBITVP Finland for YLE, following adults with learning disabilities as they join fire station volunteer units, demonstrating that anyone can become a hero when given the opportunity.

On the scripted side, the standout format is Oh, Otto!, a Belgian drama from Streamz. This series tells the emotional story of Otto, whose life unravels after his first love ends and his best friend moves away. As he navigates heartbreak, late-night adventures, and new encounters, Otto embarks on a journey of self-discovery, exploring themes of love, identity, and belonging.

Oh, Otto! joins a successful lineup of scripted content from Eyeworks Film TV Drama, WBITVP’s Belgian subsidiary. This includes the acclaimed courtroom anthology The Twelve, which recently premiered its third season in Australia; The Divine Monster, a tale of greed and dark secrets within a wealthy family; and Double Life, a drama about two women whose lives intersect after discovering they unknowingly shared a relationship with the same man, only after his death.

André Renaud, WBITVP’s GVP of Format and Finished Sales, stated, “The global appetite for high-concept, high-stakes formats is as strong as ever. The Final Circle and Reality Kings on Safari deliver on that scale and energy, attracting viewers as they launch locally. Audiences are exploring adventure and passion in various ways, including on the open road with World’s Wildest Race, through car culture in Custom Cars, and in the powerful storytelling of series like The Murder Club, The Unheard Tapes, or Special Rescue, as well as bold scripted formats like Oh, Otto! or The Twelve. We’re excited to launch a strong and varied slate of unscripted and scripted formats that can resonate and be reimagined by buyers worldwide.
