Mediaset Distibution is heading to MIPTV with hit show "Back to school", which second season has returned on Italia 1 with Federica Panicucci as host, after the successful first season with an audience share of 7.73% above the channel’s average and 1.4mln viewers.

The show was also aired in Germany with the local adaptation titled "Zurück in die Schule" with excellent results, and soon going to the second season as well. The prime-time SAT.1-entertainment show produced by Cheerio Entertainment will be presented one again by Jörg Pilawa. Furthermore, Mediaset also sold the option rights to Spain, France, USA, and Belgium. The hit format conceived internally by Mediaset is produced by Blu Yazmine for RTI.

In each episode, four celebrities face a real elementary school exam. They are tested on one subject they have prepared during a summer camp, as well as a "surprise" subject. During the summer camp, real students become ruthless teachers for the celebrities.

Claudia Marra who handles the format rights for Mediaset Distribution said: "I am heading to Cannes with this format, and I am very confident about selling it to new clients as the show has two successful key elements: kids and celebrity in a positive and family mood”. She will attend MIPTV at the Italian Pavilion R7.C1

Mediaset Distribution is also handling the world’s right of legal drama series "Justice for all" (6x90’), starring Raul Bova and Rocio Munez.
