Banijay Nordic’s Metronome label is producing the new comedy-crime format Who’s Guilty? for DR1, with Banijay Entertainment set to introduce the brand to clients at the London TV Screenings.
The format’s development was backed by Banijay Entertainment’s Creative Fund, available to producers across the company’s extensive footprint. It features a troupe of comedians being thrown into a fictional crime setting before heading to court to be judged by a celebrity jury as they try to talk themselves out of trouble.
Tina Christensen, managing director at Metronome, noted, “Comedy is picking up pace with audiences again, and we’re seeing a real appetite for bold, playful formats to bring people together through laughter. With Who’s Guilty?, our ambition was to create something genuinely original, with a fresh, high-energy blend of mystery and improv that celebrates incredible comedic talent. It’s a feel-good title designed for big laughs, and we’re proud to launch it with DR1.”
James Townley, chief creative officer for development at Banijay Entertainment, added, “Who’s Guilty? takes the classic guessing game and throws in comedy, crime, and chaos. The spontaneity keeps viewers hooked, with no one knowing what will happen next. It’s a brilliant talent vehicle, giving performers space to build characters and show real comedic instinct. It’s exactly the kind of family-friendly, broad audience offering that resonates internationally, and we’re proud to showcase it at this year’s London TV Screenings.”
