Dori Media Group has sold and renewed its hit unscripted format “Power Couple” in numerous global territories in the new year, including Brazil, Germany and India. It was announced by Nadav Palti, CEO & President of Dori Media Group. The series, created by Abot Hameiri, has original versions in more than 20 territories globally, with more than 60 seasons and over 900 episodes produced.
“We always believed ‘Power Couple’ had all of the elements to be a successful global format, but we are truly thrilled with the reception that this series is now receiving across such a wide array of nations, both big and small,” said Dori’s Palti. “The format, which is available in both celebrity and non-celebrity editions, resonates with local viewers whether it features celebrities or not, and the thirst for more episodes of ‘Power Couple’ has become nearly insatiable in many territories.”
