When NBC recently resurrected its long-dormant “Deal or No Deal,” it came with a new format: “Deal or No Deal Island.” The game show was originally a “shiny floor” in-studio contest where players had to guess how much money was inside a large briefcase. The updated iteration takes things outdoors, raising the stakes by adding interpersonal dynamics, physical challenges and survival to the mix.
At producer Endemol Shine North America, they call adding a fresh spin to existing IP the “Esna twist.” And it’s become a hallmark for CEO Sharon Levy, who took over the shingle — part of Banijay Americas — a little more than a year ago.
“I’m not a fan of a straight-up reboot without a reason for being,” Levy says. “You need to give them a reason to watch. And it has to feel of the moment. Development is probably always my first true love. It...

Deal or No Deal Island is heating the reality television world with a mix of old stars like Boston Rob Mariano and new fan favorites like Aron Barbell.
Both players are still going strong. Episode 5 of Deal or No Deal Season 1 ended, and only nine players are left competing in the game.
Boston Rob is a great all-around reality television player with experience on Survivor and The Amazing Race. Fans are calling for him to join Traitors Season 3.
He has teamed up with newcomer Aron Barbell, a young accountant doing surprisingly well on Deal or No Deal Island.
Most of Boston Rob’s deals with the other players are superficial and meant to let him live another week to win the big bucks in the finale.
Aron’s relationship with Boston Rob on the show is a real deal that has now branched into a real-life friendship, as he shared on his Instagram Reels.

Imagine “Deal or No Deal” set on an exotic island, with its 13 participants facing extreme challenges, testing their limits and literally crawling through mud. Except you don’t have to – it’s already here.
“What if the Banker had a private island and decided to put his contestants through an extreme game to find one winner? The craziness of the idea is, I think, what we and NBC rallied around,” says Sharon Levy, CEO at Endemol Shine North America.
Levy also executive produces “Deal or No Deal Island” alongside Matt Kunitz, Matt Apps, Sarah Happel Jackson, Howie Mandel, DJ Nurre and Sean Loughlin.
“You say the title and people are like: ‘Is that for real?’ Our favorite comments on social media have been about whether this is a ‘30 Rock’ pitch. I take that as the highest, and best, compliment,” she adds, referencing the sitcom created by Tina Fey.

South Africa’s Known Associates, the fast-growing parent company of Johannesburg-based Known Associates Entertainment (Kae) and Cape Town-based Moonlighting Films, is launching into unscripted programming, Variety can reveal.
The company has acquired a 60% stake in Zero Gravity, a production outfit founded in 2017 by former Endemol Shine Africa and Trace Studios CEO Sivan Pillay, and will team up with South African media giant Primedia to “relaunch multiple new high-end unscripted formats,” according to Pillay.

A new version of Deal or No Deal has premiered on NBC, and this time, there is an added dimension to it — it is all on an island and not inside a studio.
The show’s premise is simple: there are different amounts of dollar figures inside briefcases, and contestants need to outwit a banker and each other to eliminate the cases, hoping to choose the most significant amount and win it.
Deal or No Deal Island also boasts a new host, Joe Manganiello, giving Howie Mandel a much-needed break.
One contestant is not new to the Deal or No Deal family, and it seems to be giving her a leg up in the show since she is used to the pressure of guessing which briefcase is a good one.
This contestant, Claudia Jordan, worked on Deal or No Deal as a briefcase model during Seasons 1-4 of the show.

Hosted by Joe Manganiello, Deal or No Deal Island is a twist on the original NBC game show, Deal or No Deal. While the setting is different, some aspects of the show also remain the same. On the heels of original cast member Claudia Jordan debuting on Deal or No Deal Island as a competitor, could Meghan Markle also dust off her briefcase for a role in the reboot series?
Is there a place for Meghan Markle on ‘Deal or No Deal Island’?

Exclusive: Netflix has found its new unscripted chief.
The streamer has hired Jeff Gaspin as VP Unscripted Series after a search for a high-profile figure to lead its burgeoning reality business.
It comes after Deadline revealed that Jenn Levy left the company last month and Brandon Riegg, who is VP Nonfiction Series, to whom Gaspin will report, started a search for top unscripted chief.
There were plenty of big unscripted names in the running for the position and Riegg is understood to have enquired about a number of execs overseeing unscripted for the broadcast networks and major studios.
Gaspin is a big get for Netflix given that he was previously Chairman of NBC Universal Television Entertainment from 2009-11.

The adult animated comedy series "Family Guy" has been on our televisions since 1999 — the Seth MacFarlane-created show has 21 seasons under its belt at the time of this writing. The adventures of the Griffins, their talking baby and dog, and their neighbors are temporarily paused for the WGA and SAG/AFTRA strikes, but there is a lot to rewatch. The series stars the voices of MacFarlane, Alex Borstein, Seth Green, Mild Kunis, Mike Henry, Patrick Warburton, and Arif Zahir.
The show has lampooned pop culture many times in its quarter-of-a-century existence, but one of its crowning achievements is the "Star Wars" episode entitled "Blue Harvest."

“America’s Got Talent” continued season 18 on July 18 with a two-hour showcase of acts in “Auditions 7.” There are no changes to judges’ dais this summer with executive producer Simon Cowell and long-time judge Howie Mandel taking their place on the ends of the table. Heidi Klum returns as well, as does Sofia Vergara who took a break when “All-Stars” aired earlier this year. Hosting duties are entrusted to the lively Terry Crews once again.
In the audition phase of “AGT,” an act needs at least three of the four judges to give them a “yes” vote to advance to the next round. If two or more judges buzz the act, they are immediately eliminated. Each judge and Crews has one chance to hit the “golden buzzer” and send an act straight through to the live performances.

Following the news that longrunning gameshow “Deal or No Deal” – which has been commissioned in over 80 territories – is returning to Spain after a twelve-year hiatus, Banijay’s chief content officer Lucas Green spoke to Variety about the show’s endurance, Banijay’s creative strategy and why he disagrees that the NBC version of the show “objectified” the women who starred as its “briefcase models.”
Known locally as “¡Allá tú!,” the show, which first premiered in the Netherlands over two decades ago, is returning to Spanish screens for the first time since 2008. Earlier this year it was also revealed the series would be returning to the U.K. after a 7-year break, making 2023 something of a renaissance for the format.
While the U.K. version used ordinary people to reveal what was inside the briefcases, the U.S. version, which was hosted by Howie Mandel, featured a bevvy of glamorous women known as the “briefcase models.

Popular game show format “Deal or No Deal” is making a comeback on U.K. broadcaster ITV and streamer Itvx.
In the show, a contestant is confronted with 22 sealed boxes, each one hiding a different amount of money. Without knowing what each one contains, the contestant must eliminate the boxes, which are opened one at a time, and the amount of money inside is revealed. Pressure mounts as the player is tempted by the Banker to accept an offer of cash in exchange for what might be inside their box. As long as the larger cash prizes remain unchosen, the Banker’s offers will get higher. But that can all change in an instant if a big cash prize is unveiled.
The show will be hosted by Stephen Mulhern (“In for a Penny”) and produced by Banijay U.K.’s Remarkable Entertainment. It will be filmed at dock10 studios.

ITV is reportedly set to revive the popular game show Deal or No Deal.
The UK series, which originally aired from 2005 to 2016, was hosted by Noel Edmonds.
In the show, contestants had to choose from a selection of 22 boxes, each of which contain different cash amounts ranging from 1p to £250,000.
“The Banker” then offers them cash in exchange for what’s in their sealed box, with the offer fluctuating as the additional boxes are opened one by one.
ITV is said to have commissioned a reboot of the series, which originally aired on Channel 4.
Edmonds, however, will not feature in this new iteration. Instead, Britain’s Got More Talent presenter Stephen Mulhern will reportedly be assuming the role of host.
The 45-year-old TV personality is also a presenter on Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway for the same channel, as well as game shows In For a Penny and Catchphrase.
