“We talk a lot about strong women, but there is another side to the story: men who are not as strong as before. The problem these fathers face in struggling with the role of traditional family leader is really interesting,” said Blundlett.
But it still relies on female cops when things get tough, such as France’s top launch “HPI” – the best new local scripted series on TF1 since 2010 – Italy’s “Lolita Lobosco” and ZDF’s “Koleginen”, which has become Germany as well. Launch No. 1.

The show shows people competing in one of three kitchens, equipped with different tools and stacked on top of each other, echoing the Netflix thriller “The Platform”, where its protagonists were fed through a platform. Filled with food on the upper floor, the platform will then descend to the lower level of the tower.

While “The Masked Singer” continues to reign supreme, reaching new markets and launching at the top in Canada (TVA) and Sweden (TV4), the other two formats differ: “Game of Talent” and “I Can See Your Voice,” Top 5 Ranked 5 and 4 times in the format launch 8
“I have been talking about ‘The Masked Singer’ for over three years now and it is still being launched so successfully in new areas. It will not stop, “said Blundlett.
