100 CHOICES: NEW ENTERTAINMENT FORMAT FROM JAPAN ACQUIRED BY SONY

Sony Pictures Television has acquired the rights to distribute new Janpanese entertainment format 100 Choices, which will be launching at London Screenings 2025.

The format sees a group of contestants presented with 1 question and 100 possible answers. However, the question is near impossible to answer straight away, so its up to the contestants to take on challenges which will allow them to eliminate incorrect answers. At the end of the show, if they answer the question correctly, they will win a huge cash prize.

Laura St. Clair, SVP, International Formats, Sony Pictures Television, says: "100 Choices is a unique new take on family entertainment and comedy gameshow genres. We love the strength of the central format premise, which makes it suitable to adapt for both weekend studio prime time and location shoots. We’re excited to work with the team at FANYStudio to bring this fantastic format to our buyers around the world – and we can’t wait to unveil it at London Screenings later this month!"

Mari Kawamura, Head of Global Business, FANY Studio, says “The 100 choices format idea was originally the first episode in the World HOMERUN Factory series airing on BS Yoshimoto. The series put together the brains of comedians and producers to create global formats...

"I am deeply impressed by how this format embodies the very essence of the HOMERUN Factory mission, through its adaptability and international relevance. 100 Choices strives to take flight in the global market now. With the support of SPT, I sincerely hope this format will become one that is loved around the world."

More details will be announced in due course.
