TF1 will adapt in France " Spin the wheel ", a new hit television game launched this year in the United States and in which participants can win tens of millions of dollars, spinning a huge wheel and responding to questions of general culture. In a statement released on Tuesday, the US company Endeavor Content has announced the signing of an agreement with Glassman Media, the US producer of the game, and the TF1 group. This contract provides that TF1 will begin early next year to produce a series of episodes of the game, which will be broadcast in the first half of the evening.
A strategy that works for TF1. In the original version of "Spin The Wheel" released a few months ago on the American Fox channel, competitors could win up to $ 20 million per episode. They had to turn a giant wheel, more than 12 meters high, to determine their potential gains. The amounts at stake for each question can reach impressive amounts, and in addition, the gains are questioned every time: any wrong answer brings the counter to zero.
A ruthless mechanics, associated with enormous potential gains, which seduced the American televiewers: 2.8 million people followed the average game on Fox, which represented its best start for an entertainment this summer. TF1 is pursuing its policy of adapting to the French entertainment market that has worked hard abroad. After "Who Wants to Make Millions", "The Voice" and "Dance with the Stars", he also got his hands on "Mask Singer", a South Korean entertainment that will be one of his biggest novelties of the season 2019-2020.
