The start of 2025 marks another strong period for afternoon game shows on ITV1 and ITVX, with programs such as "The Chase," "Deal or No Deal," "Lingo," and "Tipping Point" continuing to dominate the daytime TV landscape.
Both these formats, presented at London TV Screenings in 2024 for the first time, celebrate entrepreneurship, which strongly resonates with South African audiences, reflecting the country's thriving business culture and appetite for innovative entertainment.
The lineup also includes Berlinale Panorama entry “Other People’s Money”, the Spanish thriller “Shades, Unforgettable - Memories of Revenge”, the French remake of the Turkish success format “Persona” with International Emmy Award winner Haluk Bilginer, and the Norwegian drama “A Better Man”.
Beta Film has teamed up with production companies X Filme Creative Pool (Michael Polle, Babylon Berlin), True Content Entertainment (Ole Søndberg, Millennium trilogy), and EPO-Film, as well as broadcasters ZDF, DR, and New8.
“Double the Money” was commissioned for the first time outside the UK by WarnerBros Discovery’s Max in Denmark, “The Perfect Picture” Commissioned by SVT1 Sweden, taking the format to its seventh country.
