HBO Max commissioned ITV Studios' “Come Dine With Me” for Mexico

HBO Max recently commissioned ITV Studios' award-winning global format "Come Dine With Me." The deal brings the global format to Mexico for the first time. "'Come Dine With Me' is one of those beloved formats that just keeps growing,” Arjan Pomper, MD Global Entertainment, ITV Studios said. “Not just with new commissions and recommissions, but also with the brand new spin-off Come Dine With Me: The Professionals. We can't wait to show this latest spin-off to the countries as this version has just as much international potential."

In addition to its recent deal with HBO Max, ITV has also secured a series of recomissions in countries across the globe, including Greece, Croatia, Chile, Brazil, Latvia, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Turkey, Slovakia and Sweden, all due for renewals. Germany’s VOX recently ordered it’s 25th series, bringing the reality show to a total of 46 territories worldwide.

These recent deals follow last month’s announcement that Channel 4 in the UK has commissioned a brand-new spin off show "Come Dine With Me: The Professionals," produced by MultiStory Media, part of ITV Studios, and the company's plans to increase the number of formats in three or more countries over five years from 16 to 20. The title produces 17.000 episodes globally.

“Come Dine With Me” follows four strangers battling it out for the title of ‘ultimate dinner party host.’ Each night, one of the four will organize a dinner party and the guests rate the experience. At the end of the week, only one will be crowned the winner and walk away with the cash prize.
