Nordisk Banijay to produce the fourth adaptation of “Are You For Real?”

Banijay announced that “Are You For Real?” (Skinnet Bedrar?) is heading to Norway, as Nordisk Banijay will produce 12 episodes of this gameshow for TV Norge. This format was developed by Endemol Shine Boomdog, Endemol Shine Italy and TelevisaUnivision.

Norwegian presenter and journalist Ronny Brede Aase will host the show where a rotating panel of comedians try to identify the liars from the rest. In this unpredictable gameshow, three people take to the stage with a supposed talent, job, or characteristic. However, only one of them is being honest. The famous comedians must rely on their intuition, tasks, and questions to figure out who are the masters of deception. The stakes are high as an audience member sitting in the winning comedians section then has the chance to walk away with a great prize.

The show was adapted in four territories, including Mexico, where “Are You For Real?” was the number one non-scripted show across all key demos and has recently finished its second series on Canal 5. Last year, the show also launched in Peru and Sweden, where it consistently won the slot for the 20-49 demographic.

“Whether you are on the celebrity panel, in the audience, or watching at home, everyone can play along and see how well they can read people. With a line-up of comedians ready to get stuck in the audience can expect a high-energy show and hilarious probing,”  said Erlend Hernø Røeggen, CEO of Nordisk Banijay.

Lucas Green, Chief Content Officer of Operations at Banijay, added: “Audiences are looking for those upbeat, joyful shows, and this format meets this demand while adding a gamified twist on the talent show genre. Developed by EndemolShine Boomdog, Endemol Shine Italy and Televisa, ‘Are You For Real?’ showcases the strength of collaboration, and it is great to see it build on its success in Mexico, Sweden, and Peru with this new Norwegian 12 episode commission.”
