Studiocanal announces "Werewolves," a new entertainment format based on the board game that demands deception, skill, and trust to succeed. Created by Presque Prod, JAAD Productions, and CANAL+, this format has already won over French audiences and is now set to conquer the global market as Studiocanal and JAAD Productions launch worldwide sales at MIPCOM.
The 8 x 40’ series is a nail-biting strategy game unfolding in real time. This highly addictive and innovative game show is a CANAL+ Creation, co-produced with JAAD Productions and Presque Prod, with Dreamspark leading artistic development and production. The widely acclaimed board game “Les Loups-Garous de Thiercelieux” (published by Asmodee) has sold 7 million units worldwide.
In France, the game of "Werewolves" was filmed in a French forest and a specially created village for the series. Thirteen players, all experts in strategy and deception, dive into this immersive experience where they are pushed to their limits. To win the game, teamwork and social intelligence will be put to the test, with cunning gameplay being a must.
For 13 days, in a remote village deep in the forest, 13 players face off in a life-sized game of "Werewolves." Though they all claim to be Villagers, three are secretly "Werewolves." The villagers must rely on deduction to expose hidden threats. Every other night, the "Werewolves" secretly choose a victim, while during the day, villagers vote to eliminate someone, hoping to uncover the truth.
Anne Chérel, Chief Commercial Officer, and Pauline Saint-Hilaire, Head of International Library Sales for Films & TV Series, of Studiocanal, commented on the format: “We are extremely excited to continue our strategic development around entertainment formats and distribution with such an ambitious and riveting series of premium quality and addictive nature. We are convinced that 'Werewolves' will captivate the widest possible audiences worldwide," stated.
