Independent distributor all3media international has struck a format deal in Brazil with TV Globo for a local version of entertainment show Catch Me Out in primetime broadcast.

Catch Me Out, a Glitterbox/Fizz (Studio Lambert/RDF) co-production, follows everyday people as they take on the challenge of convincing the audience that they are professional entertainers. TV Globo will produce an initial four 40’ episodes in-house for air as part of its long-running Sunday-evening primetime show Domingão do Faustão. Hosted by Faustão Silva, Domingão do Faustão features a blend of live music performances and interviews combined with special segments. Catch Me Out is the latest international property to feature as part of the show, following a local adaptation of Your Face Sounds Familiar.

The new deal also gives TV Globo the option to produce a further five episodes and is the latest format contract between TV Globo and all3media international – the Brazilian broadcaster has already produced and aired several seasons of the iconic award-winning factual entertainment brand Undercover Boss, also from Studio Lambert.

“We’re really pleased to see Catch Me Out airing as part of TV Globo’s Domingão do Faustão, which has been a mainstay of Brazil’s Sunday evening schedules for three decades,” commented Janel Downing, VP sales Latin America at all3media international. “Catch Me Out is a fresh and exciting format that combines the appeal of a talent/variety show with the anticipation of an incognito challenge show. Even the viewers at home don’t discover the identity of the novices until after the final performance, so this inspiring and often emotional show keeps everyone guessing until the very end.”
