SevenOne International Sells Smash Hit Game Show My Man Can to the Netherlands, Denmark and Belgium
Munich/Cannes, April 5, 2011.
SevenOne International has sold the production rights of the
popular game show My Man Can to VT4 in Belgium, SBS6 in
the Netherlands, and SBS in Denmark. Airing prime-time on Jiang Su
Satellite Channel, the game show is a smash hit in China and was
the most successful foreign entertainment adaptation in
2010.
RedArrow Entertainment has created a central
production hub in the My Man Can studios of SAT.1 in
Cologne where RedSeven Entertainment is currently producing the
show for SAT.1 and SULTAN SUSHI for SBS6 and VT4. The second season
on SAT.1 will launch in Germany on May, 20th prime time. In
Denmark, Snowman Productions will produce for
SBS.
"This show is a blast! In Germany, My Man
Can was one of the most successful shows launched last year.
Given its popularity in China and many other countries, we are sure
it will delight viewers in the Netherlands, Denmark and Belgium as
well," says Henrik Pabst, Director International Format
Acquisition / Regional Sales Director Benelux & Scandinavia of
SevenOne International.
My Man Can
In My Man Can (produced
by Redseven Entertainment) four women gamble with the abilities
their partners possess - and put the men's courage and skills to
the test. She sits at a gambling table and bets her rivals that her
man can accomplish certain tasks. He waits helplessly in a
soundproof cubicle, waiting to hear the task his wife has accepted
on his behalf. Each of the women is given 100 gambling chips which
she uses to bet on her partner's performance in each round of the
game. If she has claimed "My Man Can" eat 20 chili peppers, he has
to do so. If he performs the task, she wins the
jackpot.
