Fremantle globally distributes "Fame In The Family"

Fremantle announced a partnership with Salamanda Media to produce entertainment format "Fame in the Family" for worldwide audiences. The format is set to premiere in the UK on Channel 4 today at 5:30pm GMT.

“We are pleased to work with Salamanda Media to bring this exciting new format into the Fremantle catalog," Rob Clark, Director, Global Entertainment at Fremantle said. "'Fame In The Family' is a guessing game that uses the concept of family DNA and unknown relatives to hook viewers in, the added element of DNA testing is ingenious."

"Fame in the Family" showcases four dinner guests work out which of them is related to their celebrity host. Set in a secret dining location where famous faces host four dinner guests they’ve never met, the show requires them to undergo a DNA test, and at least one of them is a cousin of the celebrity, but no one knows who. Over the course of the meal, the race begins to work out who it is.

Whoever exposes the results of the DNA, wins the cash prize. “We’re so thrilled to be in partnership with Fremantle to distribute our new innovative format which taps into the universal phenomena of DNA with a fun and entertaining twist," Salamanda Media’s Amanda De Freitas and Sally Evans said.
