In addition, the company’s business reality competition format "Money or Junk" will be featured in this year’s Treasure Box Japan.

From the creators of Nippon TV’s mega-hit drama series "Mother" and "Woman -My Life for my Children", "Love with a Case" (60min. eps.) is a suspense dramedy series that follows four members of the police who actually have no rights to investigate but somehow solve complex cases with their unique sense of perception and deductive reasoning that is unconventional for common detectives.

"Home Tutor" (60min. eps.), is a mysterious scripted drama series where a peculiar home tutor guides her students in unique ways
, teaching how to use money wisely in order to survive the harsh reality that exists in the world.



On the unscripted side, "Time Potion" (60min. eps.) is an innovative new high concept game show format where time is the ultimate ruler and contestants must fight across three stages while their “life” starts to tick away. This series is from the creators of Nippon TV’s award-winning drama series, "I’m Mita, Your Housekeeper."



Furthermore, Nippon TV’s unscripted format "Money or Junk" (60min. – 120min. eps.) will be featured at MIPCOM’s Treasure Box Japan on Monday, October 17 at the Hi5-Studio in the Palais de Festival.



“With the continued global success of our drama formats 'Mother' and 'Woman -My Life for my Children'-, we are delighted to be offering our newest and long-awaited scripted drama series 'Love with a Case' from the same creators and show runners. The script is Sakamoto at his best, depicting each relatable character in depth, unveiling mysteries foreshadowed earlier in the story and making the series unmissable, episode after episode. 'Home Tutor' is a thrilling and intense series for viewers living in new life standards post-COVID, where a peculiar home tutor teaches how to deal with one of the most important elements of life: money,” commented Mikiko Nishiyama, Executive Vice President of International Business Development, Nippon TV. “We are also very excited to introduce 'Time Potion' for the first time to the international market. It is the ultimate time-battle game show with a surprising twist where the contestant can drink a special potion in order to gain more game survival time.”

Added Nishiyama, “Having had success this spring as the only Japanese TV format creators that exhibited with a booth at MIPTV 2022, I am also happy to announce that we are relocating to our new prime location in the Palais (P-1.D50). We welcome all friends and clients to come and experience our new home in Cannes and jointly create an atmosphere that will lead to the further success of our industry.”
