Korean broadcaster JTBC and A+E Networks International have joined forces to distribute unscripted format Solo Wars.

Solo Wars is a dating gameshow that unfolds between 100 singles, evenly split between male and female, who compete for love and/or a cash prize.

A game of strategy; participants must form romantic allegiances to progress to the next round. Each round ends with one, or multiple, eliminations, culminating in one couple proving their love for each other, and winning the prize money. Participants use psychological tactics as they battle their rivals and appeal to the opposite sex.

The format will be launched by A+E Networks International at MIPCOM following what are said to be successful outings on JTBC in Korea, and LeTV in China. It is the first project to come out of the companies’ recently announced expanded partnership and broadens A+E Networks International’s global format partnerships, and JTBC’s reach in the US.

A+E Networks and JTBC already have a format deal which covering plans to co-produce one Korean scripted drama and one docuseries. A+E is also close to greenlighting a scripted format from JTBC, with more details to follow in the coming weeks.
