Dori Media Group is bringing original new game show “The Auction” to the international marketplace and will kick off its global sales efforts with an interactive experience at the Paris Unscripted Showcase. Owned by Abot Hameiri and Dori Media in colaboration with America Television, Kapow and Open Kimono, and produced locally by America Estudios, “The Auction” will make its global debut mid-year in Peru on América Television. Dori Media will handle all worldwide sales of the series.
“Our fruitful collaboration with Abot Hameiri has once again created a new unscripted format, "The Auction", with the potential to become the next big global format franchise,” says Nadav Palti, Dori Media CEO. "‘The Auction’ has all the elements of a classic game show in an auction setting, filled with suspenseful, funny twists and eye-popping prizes. We are proud to collaborate with our partners – Kapow and Open Kimono – and, together with América Televisión, Peru’s top-ranked network, to bring this thrilling new show to their audiences."
Fernando Muñiz Betancourt - CEO America Televisión: "For America Multimedia and America Studios, this is an important opportunity to demonstrate our ability to produce high-level content, while also successfully delivering it on the country’s most important screen and its digital platforms."
Agustin Sacanell- Co CEO Kapow: “The Auction” is the result of an international creative synergy that deeply inspires us. We have always backed ideas with original DNA and global ambition, and this format is proof of that. Collaborating closely with América Televisión, alongside Dori Media and Open Kimono, has been an enriching experience, and we’re eager to see how this production connects not only with local audiences, but eventually with viewers around the world.”
Nicolás Grapper - CEO Open Kimono: “We are very entushistic about this project having in consideration that we are collaborating with key players like Dori Media, Kapow and America Peru. We strongly believe in this new IP that Abot Hameiri and Dori Media created and we are counting the days to enter into production.”
“The Auction” pits two teams of five family members against each other, in a fun and suspenseful auction setting. Each team is given an equal budget and looks to acquire prizes with the highest value, all while trying to reach the final and win the show’s grand prize.
Earlier this year, Dori Media announced its hit unscripted format “Power Couple” has been sold and renewed in numerous global territories, including Brazil, Germany and India. "Power Couple," which was also created by Abot Hameiri, continues to take the world by storm, with original versions of the unscripted relationship series now in more than 20 territories globally, with more than 60 seasons and over 1000 episodes produced.
