As a seasoned movie buff with a penchant for reality TV and a keen eye for fresh formats, I must admit that Fremantle‘s latest lineup left me utterly intrigued! The diverse array of genres, from psychological mysteries to social introspections, action-packed competitions to adventure survival, truly showcases the creative prowess within this production house.


As a passionate film enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that the dynamic force behind successful series like “Got Talent” and “Idols,” Fremantle, has revealed its exciting slate of original formats set to debut at the upcoming TV market Mipcom in Cannes next week.

The selection offers a diverse range of new shows. Among them is the French psychological reality series “Master of the Game,” a recent addition to the genre, and action-packed Norwegian competition reality show “Heist Academy” and “The Hiding Game.” Additionally, Denmark’s social reality series “Exposed” and the epic adventure reality format “The Lost Ones: Ultimate Decision,” also from Demark, are part of the lineup. Lastly, the U.S. dating series “Couple to Throuple” rounds off the offerings.

Andrew Llinares, head of worldwide entertainment at Fremantle, stated: “The variety of exciting programs we offer demonstrates the depth of our creative talent within Fremantle, and we take great pride in creating many of these productions internally.

In this brand-new psychological reality show, a cluster of famous individuals are summoned to engage in a captivating guessing game filled with unexpected twists. Lured by a puzzling invitation and the tantalizing prospect of winning money, they embark on a mission to discover who the “Grandmaster” is – a charming yet mysterious character who controls everything from behind the scenes while concealed behind a mask. Here’s the catch: one participant has been covertly chosen by the Grandmaster as an ally, with instructions to mislead the others throughout the game.

Throughout the show, competitors traverse striking locations such as the “Chamber of a Hundred Masks,” unravel mysteries, and confront engaging tasks. As the program approaches its finish, the surviving participants take their final shot: who is the Architect behind the Game?
