Talpa Studios and Hasbro Entertainment showcase Trivial Pursuit at MIPCOM 2024
Trivial Pursuit is produced by Hasbro Entertainment, The CW, Lionsgate Alternative Television, and Talpa Studios, and distributed by Hasbro Entertainment and Talpa Studios. David Garfinkle, Gabriel Marano, John De Mol, Matt Walton, and Matt Pritchard serve as executive producers. Talpa Studios and Hasbro Entertainment share the distribution of the format, ensuring global reach for this beloved game in its new form.
Fast-paced, strategic, and filled with trivia challenges, Trivial Pursuit brings the excitement of the iconic board game to television screens. Three contestants battle it out on a giant version of the iconic Trivial Pursuit game board and its distinctly colored category wedges. Their goal is simple: answer play-along questions from each category, win wedges, and get to the center of the board to take on a dramatic finale against the clock to claim the jackpot.
Maarten Meijs, CEO of Talpa Studios, highlights the significance of the collaboration: “We love game shows, and Hasbro Entertainment is a pioneer in this domain. This partnership allows us to bring one of the most iconic board games of all time to life as a television format. The promising premiere demonstrates the strength of this show, and we look forward to expanding its reach internationally.”
Gabriel Marano, Head of Hasbro Entertainment Television, said, “We could not be prouder of the Trivial Pursuit format, which is already delighting fans of all ages tuning in to watch on The CW. We are excited to partner with Talpa Studios to bring this fun and entertaining game show based on Hasbro’s iconic board game to audiences around the globe.”
