The Israeli producer and distributor has sold the scripted comedy to Hungarian producer, Scripted Productions.
Armoza Formats, part of ITV Studios, announced that scripted comedy La Famiglia has been taken in Hungary by production company, Scripted Productions.
La Famiglia continues its international travel and has reached its 8th territory, with over 350 episodes commissioned, making it the most adapted Israeli comedy. The original Israeli series has aired three successful seasons on Channel 10 and Reshet 13. A second season of the format is currently in production for Amazon Prime Video in India and the series recently aired in Austria and Greece among others.
Developed and produced by United Studios of Israel and created by Ran Dovrat, Avi Belkin and Ohad Perach, La Famiglia (45×30’) follows the lives of a perfectly normal suburban family living in the divorce capital of the country. With many reasons to be happy, they have even more reasons to go to therapy – their sex life, his best friend, her complaints, and of course, his mother. Their therapy sessions provide the entertaining basis for the series, through which we flashback to the comical, stand-alone scenes from their daily life. Each episode is a new therapy session in which they bring up the most embarrassing, bizarre, awkward and insane moments that are a part of every family’s life.
Barbara Hamori, Owner of Scripted Productions, said: “In Scripted Productions, Hungary’s fastest growing productions house, we find it more than important to keep a close eye on internationally successful formats such as La Famiglia. The show with its quirky sense of humour, touching and vibrant atmosphere is a great example of broad and universal content.”
Avi Armoza, CEO of Armoza Formats, added: “With the continued success of La Famiglia, we see the real need for family comedy that is truly universal and relatable no matter the culture or language. ‘La Famiglia’ has now reached its 8th territory with the acquisition in Hungary and we look forward to seeing this and many more adaptations of the format.”
