The show will be produced by Fremantle Spain in partnership with Talpa Studios and recorded later this year at Talpa Studios’ international production hub in the Netherlands.

Spanish broadcaster Atresmedia has ordered a local version of Talpa Studios’ quiz show Caught in the Middle, from the global content house founded by John de Mol, to be broadcast on Antena 3.

The show will be produced by Fremantle Spain in partnership with Talpa Studios and recorded later this year at Talpa Studios’ international production hub in the Netherlands. The commission adds to Talpa Studios’ growing track record with Atresmedia, following earlier adaptations including The Jump and The Quiz with Balls.

Caught in the Middle is the number one new game show launched on SBS6 in the past six years, making an immediate impact with an average market share of 18.1% across its eight-episode run – well above the channel’s slot average of 12.9%. A second season has been confirmed in the Netherlands. The format previously secured a paper format sale to Australia in September 2025, ahead of its Dutch premiere, with the Australian version set to premiere later this year.

On the show, one duo stands at the center of a giant LED arena while 100 opponents close in. Over the course of 15 questions, they must outsmart the crowd by picking answers that match as many rivals as possible – knocking them out one by one before the opponents reach the middle and claim the €50,000 jackpot for themselves.

Sebastian van Barneveld, Director Global Distribution at Talpa Studios: “Following its strong performance and renewal in the Netherlands, it’s great to see Caught in the Middle continue its international expansion. The format combines a clear, easy-to-follow gameplay with a striking visual identity, brought to life in our international production hub. This makes it instantly engaging and highly adaptable for broadcasters looking for a scalable, high-impact game show.”

Carmen Ferreiro, Director of Entertainment Programming at Atresmedia: “For Atresmedia, a leading group in Spain, it remains a priority to continue investing in successful international formats in order to stay at the forefront of entertainment in our country. The most-watched game shows on Spanish television are on Atresmedia and, therefore, we are very pleased to have acquired Caught in the Middle, as it perfectly fits our type of entertainment, allowing viewers to play along from home at the same time.”

Commissioned by RTL 4 in the Netherlands, The House of Hide & Seek will premiere in 2026 on RTL 4 and will be available to stream on Videoland. The partnership with FOX Entertainment Studios naturally positions the format for a potential US adaptation.

Talpa Studios announces a new creative partnership with FOX Entertainment Studios and acclaimed director-creator David Grifhorst to bring the new family entertainment format The House of Hide & Seek to life.

Inspired by the classic childhood game known around the world, the series turns hide and seek into a prime time family show set entirely within an enormous, purpose-built studio environment – a unique approach that transforms the familiar game into a cinematic spectacle.

Commissioned by RTL 4 in the Netherlands, The House of Hide & Seek will premiere in 2026 on RTL 4 and will be available to stream on Videoland. The partnership with FOX Entertainment Studios naturally positions the format for a potential US adaptation.

In each episode, six celebrity contestants take on a series of nerve-racking rounds inside a gigantic two-story house with more than 120 hiding spots – a larger-than-life set built to feel as though its residents just stepped out. From the grand staircase to the kitchen, garden, living room and a maze of other rooms, every corner is crafted to draw players deeper into the game. Secret passages, unexpected doors and cleverly concealed spaces give the house an escape-room-like thrill, sparking instant childhood excitement. Contestants race through hallways, slip behind hidden panels and try to outsmart one another in a game that blends suspense, humor and tactical play, with viewers following every move in real time.

John de Mol, founder Talpa Studios, said: “The House of Hide & Seek is unlike anything we’ve built before. The open, two-story house with its many rooms and hidden spaces gives the format a scale and level of immersion that truly define its character and make it ideal for primetime. It allows the simple, familiar game to gain a surprising level of pace and tension. Having successfully partnered with the FOX network on U.S. adaptations of The Floor and The Quiz with Balls, FOX Entertainment Studios immediately recognized the potential of this standout format – and together we identified this project as a creative collaboration with the ambition to adapt the series in the U.S. and build it out internationally”.

“Talpa Studios is an exceptional, long-time creative partner, and from the moment we saw The House of Hide & Seek, we knew they had all the makings of a breakout format we could create together – bold scale, smart game design and a premise every viewer understands in seconds,” said Allison Wallach, Head of Unscripted Programming for FOX Entertainment Studios. “Our combined creative vision and ability to turn a universally loved idea into premium, modern family entertainment makes for a powerful collaboration – one with enormous potential to resonate in the U.S. and travel to markets around the world.”

About the show:

Each episode consists of multiple rounds and a grand finale. Every round starts on the studio floor, in front of the house – before a live studio audience. Here, the players face a visual puzzle or quiz. Correct answers add money to their personal ‘Moneyball’, a portable vault they must protect at all cost. After each puzzle, the players get 90 seconds to hide inside the gigantic house. They have to try and outsmart the only – empty handed – player left on the studio floor. This player becomes the hunter and has exactly one minute to find one of his opponents. If he succeeds, he steals a Moneyball and stays in the game: the discovered player is eliminated. Fail, and the seeker is out. In the finale, the last two players go head-to-head: one hides with the final Moneyball, the other has limited time to find him. Whoever succeeds wins the Moneyball for their personal charity.

The House of Hide and Seek is a game that blends suspense, humor and tactical play, with viewers following every move in real time.

The House of Hide & Seek is created by Talpa Studios and David Grifhorst, in creative partnership with FOX Entertainment Studios and produced by Talpa Studios.

The Floor was recently named ‘Format of the Year’ by K7 Media, and we’re also seeing renewals being confirmed across multiple territories.

In The Floor, 100 quiz fanatics face off in quiz duels on a giant LED floor divided into one hundred equal squares, each representing its own field of knowledge. The goal is to conquer the entire floor and take home a huge cash prize. The rules are simple. A random contestant challenges an adjoining opponent in a quiz duel. They play against each other in the category of the opponent’s square. Categories range from ‘famous athletes’ to ‘Hollywood actors’ and from ‘iconic buildings’ to ‘mammals’. Some questions are visually supported by photographs, others by sound, while other duels focus on open questions, multiple choice, association: the possibilities are endless. The winner of a duel conquers his opponent’s square, gaining more ground – the loser leaves the game. The further the game progresses, the more exciting the duels become and the higher the stakes. After eight episodes, who will be the last person standing on The Floor, winning 100.000 euros?

The Portuguese edition of The Floor will premiere on RTP1, the main local channel, on September 14.

The Floor, created and distributed by Talpa Studios, was released in the Netherlands in 2023 and has already been sold to more than fifteen countries, including the USA, France, Germany, Italy, as well as Argentina and Spain.

The mechanics are very simple in The Floor. It is a spectacular contest where 100 participants compete to win territory on a gigantic LED floor divided into 100 squares. Each of the participants will occupy one of these squares, which represents a different category of knowledge. The objective is simple: challenge the opponents to conquer the entire floor.

The contestants have to combine knowledge and strategy to conquer the adjacent squares. To achieve this, they must challenge an opponent in a round of quick questions. The first one to run out of time loses and is out of the game; the player who wins the duel conquers his opponent’s square and thus expands his territory on the floor.

In each instalment of The Floor, there will be fewer and fewer contestants until the final confrontations in a grand finale in which the winner of the edition will be decided after taking over the entire board.
