BE-ENTERTAINMENT READY FOR MIPCOM 2026 WITH A FRESH SLATE AND INTERNATIONAL SUCCESS
Following the successful multi-territorial rollouts of hit shows such as ‘Destination X’, ‘The Way Out’ and ‘The Political Assembly’, Be-Entertainment arrives at MIPCOM 2026 with a powerful lineup of both new, unscripted formats and proven global successes.
Gepke Nederlof, Managing Director at Be-Entertainment: "After welcoming RTL NL to the DPG Media group, we are thrilled to share our first two RTL formats with the world. With a robust slate that spans a wide range of genres, we look forward to meeting our partners and industry friends in Cannes to see how our portfolio of proven and tested formats can support their content search in this ever-evolving market."
NEW FORMATS TAKE CENTER STAGE
Taking the stage with a burst of glitz and glamour is the dazzling family entertainment show 'Make Up Your Mind'. A large-scale guessing game in which celebrity panelists try to figure out which famous personalities are hidden behind the make up of spectacular drag transformations. The high-energy format comes packed with stunning reveals, sensational performances attracting both the linear as well as the online viewer.
Another fresh addition is the innovative 'The Surgery, with...' . In this medical format, a host and a celebrity guest watch a live surgery, the very same procedure the guest once underwent, while speaking directly to the surgeon in real time. 3D animations and expert insights demystify complex surgeries through personal storytelling.
Tapping into the universal search for identity, 'Welcome Back' follows six young adults from diverse backgrounds who leave their familiar Western lives behind and embark on an emotional journey to reconnect with their roots and build a whole new future.
Turning up the temperature, 'Salsamania' takes dance competitions out of the studio and onto the streets. Eight celebrities trade their daily routines for an exotic capital, pairing up with local dance icons to master the local dance and impress tough street crowds with their performances to stay in the competition.
In a new take on the home renovation genre, 'My Home Your Home' features renters permanently swapping both their rental homes and contracts. Before the move, a stylist helps them transform their old home to perfectly suit its new tenant, giving both residents a fresh start.
Proving that love is always worth a second act, 'Ready to Love Again' brings a deeply touching twist to the dating genre. Five singles who have lost a great love discover whether they are ready to find love once more.
EXPANDING GLOBAL REACH ACROSS ESTABLISHED TITLES
Parallel to these new launches, Be-Entertainment's established formats continue on their international momentum. Global adventure sensation ‘Destination X’ is currently airing its second season in the Netherlands, with more second series in production for the US, UK, France and new territories like Ukraine, and Hungary and others getting ready to be the tenth territory to place their X. The political reality series ‘The Political Assembly’, which gathers the country’s key politicians for a weekend without their PR advisors to go beyond the usual one liners, follows successful second runs in Belgium and Denmark with active casting in three new countries, including Finland. Meanwhile, multiple series family entertainment escape hit ‘The Way Out’ reinforces its evergreen appeal, celebrating seventh-season productions in Belgium and The Netherlands, while expanding its reach in markets like the UK and Germany.
