EXCLUSIVE: Canada’s Crave is making a mystery competition series based on its crime drama Aller Simple.
Fremantle has launched sales at the London TV Screenings on House of Secrets. In the show, which launches on Crave in the Spring, contestants, each guarding a personal secret, enter an isolated cottage cut off from the outside world. Before the first player is ‘dropped’ via a trapdoor, 15 secrets are revealed—10 true and five fabricated. To survive, they must separate fact from fiction.
Sphere Media’s show is the latest to employ the guessing game approach that has exploded since The Traitors broke out. It is based on Aller Simple, Crave’s French crime drama series in which passengers invited to travel by helicopter to a French-Canadian billionaire’s home ended up stranded in a cottage.
Vasha Wallace, EVP Global Acquisitions and Development, Global Entertainment at Fremantle, said: “This is absolutely gripping – completely in the zeitgeist of high-concept, must-watch reality. It’s all about secrets, survival, and strategy.”
Fremantle is handling sales of the series for the world excluding Canada. The distrib is also selling the likes of Sandokan and Swiped at this week’s London Screenings.
