"Inside Therapy"
Warner Bros. International Television Production reveals its wide range of new unscripted formats, along with a premiere slate of Discovery titles, set to be shared with buyers at its Formats Showcase on the morning of 27th February, during the London Screenings.
This latest slate delivers a compelling mix of high-stakes reality, social experiments, and fresh takes on proven hit formats spanning dating, competition, lifestyle, and factual entertainment.
"Inside Therapy", produced by Twenty Twenty ("First Dates") for BBC One, takes viewers inside real on-screen therapy sessions with a range of therapists and patients. The series follows leading specialist therapists as they work with patients struggling with overwhelming feelings that cause phobias, fear, anxiety, anger and grief.
From executive producers "TheImpractical Jokers", and created for TBS in the US, "Foul Play" is a high-energy prank show that handssome of the world’s top athletes one shot to pull off an unforgettable prank… or foul out trying.
"First Dates Beach Club", created by Twenty Twenty for Channel 4, is the supersized reality addition to the global First Dates franchise, extending the search for love to a picturesque beachside setting.
"MILF Manor", produced by Spun Gold for TLC, shakes up the dating genre with a bold and unexpected twist. In a luxurious villa, confident and charismatic women looking for romance with younger men soon discover there’s a surprise in store—the younger men are all each other’s sons. "MILF Manor" is a Dare Television format for Discovery+, Sweden.
"Last Bite Hotel", produced by Butternut Media for Food Network, is a devilishly clever cooking competition that pushes chefs to their limits. Invited to a secluded, eerie retreat, each contestant can bring only 13 ingredients for their entire stay – and once an ingredient is gone, it’s gone. With a charismatic host and unpredictable challenges ahead, the chefs must use strategy and creativity to satisfy a demanding line-up of VIP and celebrity guests. But there’s a twist: at the end of each round, one chef is banished to Room 13, and their ingredients are divided among the remaining competitors.
"Survive the Raft", a Critical Content production for Discovery US, explores whether people from vastly different backgrounds and beliefs can work together – or if their differences will drive them apart.
"Say Yes to the Dress", from Half Yard Productions for TLC, takes viewers inside a leading boutique where brides search for their perfect wedding dress.
