TV Asahi and Youngest Media Group have optioned their new star-studded physical game show format called “Celebrity Fight Club” to Bildergarten Entertainment.

The show, a fresh format based on TV Asahi’s classic hit “Challengers on Fire,” has been newly reimagined by the Youngest Media Group team in Los Angeles.

The original “Challengers on Fire,” a hit TV Asahi series ran for five years and over 190 episodes, was top-rated in its timeslot. It was one of Japan’s most successful game shows. This exciting new development is the first territory of several expected to be announced before MIPCOM and highlights the global appeal of this loud comedic show and title in the trending physical competition genre.

The new format plays on pop culture, with celebrity “rivals” going head-to-head in a bold, all-family, comedy-packed competition… driven by their social media followers! Every episode, two star players bring their biggest supporters to the studio to participate in a fun physical stunt show to see, once and for all, which celebrity has the “best” fans.

The big cast physical game show is currently being shopped worldwide.
