"The Detective Club"
Content powerhouse Banijay Entertainment announced an original strategic reality format, "The Detective Club." Produced by Banijay France’s B Prod, creator of travelling hits "The Fifty" and "Good Luck Guys," the suspense-filled title launches next month on W9.
In "The Detective Club," 18 celebrities are invited by a mysterious host. When the host’s beloved dog, Kiki, goes missing, the guests embark on a thrilling investigation to find the two culprits hidden among them. In this strategic game of deduction and deceit, the celebrities will have to collect clues and face interrogations to crack the case. Each episode ends in a dramatic showdown as contestants must name their prime suspect.
