Rolling off the success of “Family Feud,” Fremantle Latin America is targeting more format adaptations in Argentina with Boxfish, headed by famed former Cuatro Cabezas’ founder Diego Guebel, producer of the multi-formated “CQC.”
The conversations to develop more light entertainment formats are part of a growing alliance between Fremantle and Boxfish, who struck a format adaptation deal in April 2020 that sees Boxfish co-produce with Fremantle the Argentine makeovers of a select number of Fremantle formats.
