Richard Bacon’s Yes Yes Media has recently secured an exclusive first-look formats deal with Tresor, a German label owned by Keshet International. This partnership will give Tresor the opportunity to have an exclusive window on all new non-scripted formats developed by Yes Yes, which is supported by a consortium including Sister, France’s Satisfaction, Courtney Cox, and the guitarist from Snow Patrol.
Collaboration and Deal Details
Tresor and Yes Yes have already begun collaborating as part of the agreement between Keshet International and Satisfaction, established earlier this year. Tresor, known for producing shows like I Can See Your Voice, Masters of Dance, and Wer isses?, has a history of engaging in first-look deals. Previously, they have partnered with MGM Television and CJ ENM, resulting in successful shows like Generation Gap and Skate Fever. While the deals with MGM and CJ ENM have expired, the collaboration with Yes Yes marks a new chapter for Tresor.
Debut Commission and Future Prospects
Yes Yes Media’s first commissioned show under this partnership is UKTV’s Silence is Golden, hosted by Dermot O’Leary. In this unique format, the audience must maintain silence to win a substantial cash prize while being entertained by comedians, celebrities, and performers. Tresor’s Managing Director, Axel Kühn, expressed enthusiasm about the alignment between Yes Yes and Tresor, highlighting their shared commitment to innovation in the German television landscape. He looks forward to working closely with Richard Bacon and his team to adapt Yes Yes formats for the German audience.
The collaboration between Yes Yes Media and Tresor signifies a strategic move towards exploring new opportunities in the non-scripted formats space. With a focus on creativity and audience engagement, the partnership aims to deliver fresh and exciting content for viewers in Germany. This exclusive deal opens up a world of possibilities for both production companies, paving the way for innovative television experiences in the future.
