Asia’s hit guessing format from content creator trio Diturn Korea, ABC TV Japan, and Empire of Arkadia set for English-language debut.
Content powerhouse, Banijay Entertainment, today announces it has acquired English-language format rights to 100, Asia’s latest hit musical gameshow.
Co-developed by The Masked Singer creator, Park Wonwoo of Ditum Korea, alongside Japanese broadcaster ABC Japan (Asahi Broadcasting Group Holdings Corporation), and content incubator Empire of Arkadia (EOA), 100 is now set for adaptation for English-speaking adaptation through Banijay Entertainment labels.
Launched as event television in Korea and Japan, 100 is a fresh, multi-generational singing gameshow where teams of amateur and celebrity performers must have a combined age of exactly 100, and aim to score a perfect 100 from the audience and panel. The format becomes a hilarious musical guessing game, celebrating age diversity and community. From strategic clues to dramatic reveals, it’s a play-along format where generations unite on stage, and every performance is a surprise.
Helen Greatorex, Head of Format Acquisitions at Banijay Entertainment says: “100 is a joyful, primetime celebration for the whole family. It’s a perfect complement to our portfolio, offering distinctive, scalable music entertainment that’s fun to guess along with. The original format fuses Japanese and Korean creativity to create a universally appealing concept.”
Fotini Paraskakis (EOA), Park Wonwoo (Diturn) and Nami Komo (from ABC TV) add: “Partnering with Banijay Entertainment to bring our format to English-language markets is a key milestone in the international journey of 100. Built on a premise of music and fun, viewers simply love the show, making this perfect entertainment for all audiences around the world.”
100 joins Banijay Entertainment’s all-new slate of original and entertaining formats for Mipcom 2025, including Let’s Play Ball, Football Island, Villa of Temptations, Foodish and Lost and Found in the Lakes.
Other third-party titles heading to Cannes include unique culinary format Atypical Critics from Pixcom International, featuring autistic food critics; and competitive knitting series The Game of Wool from Hello Halo for Channel 4.
