The series, originally created by Banijay Italia, will be adapted by Endemol Shine Poland under the name Cudowne lata and will air on TVP next September.
Banijay Entertainment announces the first international adaptation of Banijay Italia’s variety show, Boomerissima. Endemol Shine Poland has begun filming the new series, which will air on TVP this September. Popular presenter, actor, and singer Barbara Kurdej-Szatan will host.
Boomerissima (tilted Cudowne lata in Poland) is a unique and lively entertainment gameshow pitting generations against each other to prove their superiority. Every episode features celebrities from different eras taking on each other, highlighting TV shows, movies, music, famous names, adverts, and more to refute stereotypes and determine whether things were better in the past or the present. However, the studio audience has the final say about which generation will come out on top.
Małgorzata Perkowska-Czaja, MD, Endemol Shine Poland, says: “This is the first ever season in Poland, and we are very excited to show this format. It’s a winning combination of quiz shows, music programs, dance spectacles, and even talk shows. Incorporating the studio audience brings a lively atmosphere to the episodes, which audiences at home will love.”
Lucas Green, Chief Content Officer, Operations, Banijay Entertainment, adds: “Boomerissima is cross-generational entertainment that draws a broad audience and delivers fun and laughs for the viewers as they play along at home. It’s a great vehicle for celebrity guests and is highly adaptable for different markets and various platforms.”
Originally created by Banijay Italia, the first series on Rai 2 outperformed across all demographics. A second run in Italy was confirmed and aired at the end of last year.
