ProSieben has ordered a local version of Talpa Studios’ Catch Us, with Germany becoming the third market to board the reality chase format.
The format was co-developed by Signal.Stream and RTL Creative Unit in collaboration with Talpa Studios. The German take, Catch Us—Die Jagd Durch Europa, will air as a three-night prime-time event in November on ProSieben and Joyn. The local version is being produced by Redseven Entertainment.
The format follows three celebrities on a five-day journey across three European cities as they’re pursued by six teams of “hunters.” Along the way, they have to compete in challenges that force them out of hiding.
Catch Us If You Can launched in the Netherlands last October on RTL 4, Videoland, and YouTube, and has been commissioned in Hungary.
Sebastian van Barneveld, director of global distribution at Talpa Studios, noted, “We’re excited to see Catch Us build international momentum, and ProSieben’s three-night prime-time event is a perfect fit for the format. Catch Us was built around fast, social-driven discovery, with a chase that unfolds across cities, platforms, and communities. It gives audiences a role in the action and creates a sense of immediacy that goes far beyond the broadcast itself.”
