Endemol Shine Group has announced the first Latin American deal for new culinary competition format Family Food Fight, with Endemol Shine Latino being commissioned to make a local Argentinian adaptation for Telefe.
Created by Endemol Shine Australia, Family Food Fight is an original format developed with Channel Nine. Consistently ranking as the broadcaster’s highest rating show of the day when it launched it has recently been renewed for a second season.
ABC has commissioned Endemol Shine North America to create a version in the U.S. which is currently in production.
“Family Food Fight perfectly blends two of the ingredients that Latin Americans hold dear—family and cooking! It is a hugely warm, fun, highly spirited and addictive format and we believe that partnered with Telefe, we have the ideal recipe for success,” commented Michelle Wasserman, VP senior of Licensing and Content Development for Endemol Shine Latino.
The Argentinian series is now casting for transmission later this year and will be known locally as Familias Frente a Frente,desafío en la cocina. Family Food Fight takes homestyle cooking to a new level as family recipes, rich in tradition and shared over generations,are put on display.
