On the opening day of MIPCOM yesterday in France, Warner Bros. International Television Production (WBITVP) has announced a series of format deals across its unscripted catalogue, spanning reality, factual entertainment, and dating, formatbiz’s website has reported.

In India, Discovery Communications has commissioned ‘FBoy Island’, to be called ‘FBoy Survival’, for both Discovery Channel and the D+ platform. Produced by Fox6 Media, the 20-episode series will launch in February 2026. The Indian version will blend the core Discovery audience interests of adventure-survival with the evergreen reality dating genre as the broadcaster continues to build larger-than-life noisy shows in the market. (https://www.formatbiz.it/dettNews.aspx?id=13675#:~:text=2025%2D10%2D13,noisy%20shows%20in%20the%20market)

Created by STX Entertainment and The Year of Elan for HBO Max in the US, ‘FBoy Island’ has built a strong international footprint, with local versions produced in Australia, Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Sweden. The format has also inspired spin-off ‘FGirl Island’ for The CW in the US.

The new Indian commission continues the relationship between WBITVP and Discovery India, which have also ordered a second season of ‘Reality Queens of the Jungle’ or locally known  as ‘Reality Ranis’ of the Jungle’ Produced by Endemol India, the series has been a local success on both Discovery Channel and D+.

Elsewhere, ‘FBoy Island’ has also been commissioned in Germany, with a nine-part series produced by WBITVP Germany set to debut later this month on Amazon Prime Video.

WBITVP has also confirmed the first international commission of ‘Inside Therapy’ by France Télévisions that has ordered a five-part series known as ‘Rendez-vous Chez le Psy’

According to André Renaud, WBITVP’s GVP of Format and Finished Sales,  “WBITVP remains the home for franchises that scale and travel, from bold reality and dating formats to long-running brands and stories that speak to the human condition. The latest commissions of ‘FBoy Island’, ‘Reality Queens of the Jungle’, and ZDF’s iconic ‘Cash or Trash’ demonstrate that range.”
