“The Boys”
Amuz Distribution’s Alex Avon, VP of Global Distribution, announced a format license deal with Tucker Tooley Entertainment for the U.S. territory for "The Boys", a scripted factual comedy series about friendship, life, love, and sports.
Centering around a group of friends from different walks off life, from surgeons to police officers, they face life’s challenges together on and off the sports’ field. "The Boys" is a prime-time comedy series and was one of the biggest French-Canadian TV franchises in Canada. During its run, it had a 38% market share on Radio-Canada TV with 73 TV episodes and 5 movies under its belt.
Avon stated: “Amuz Distribution is thrilled to partner with Tucker Tooley Entertainment for our fun, heart-felt comedy series 'The Boys', beloved by major audiences in Quebec. This sports-themed friendship-based show is perfect for localization. We look forward to seeing the shows on air in the U.S.”
Christian Parent, VP Development & Production at Tucker Tooley Entertainment, added: “We are beyond excited to team up with Amuz Distribution to adapt the highly acclaimed series from Quebec, 'The Boys' for the U.S. audience. Give their proven track record and our passion for storytelling, we're confident this series will captivate American fans, offering a truly unique and immersive experience.”
The company has previously announced a celebrity entertainment format license deal with We Make Productions for France and Belgium. "In Lieu of Flowers", is a primetime hit in Quebec on ICI Radio-Canada Télé. The original producer is Zone 3 in Canada.
"In Lieu of Flowers" is an irreverent show that laughs in the face of death. Based on the Celebrity Roast concept, each episode features a guest-star who must bear witness to the totality of his or her life on stage through a flurry of comic numbers and a variety of sketches, as if they were attending their own hilarious mock-funeral.
