FANY Studio has announced that Sony Pictures Television (“SPT”) has acquired global distribution rights to the brand new format ‘100 Choices,’ and will be launching the format at London Screenings 2025, as part of the studio’s showcase.
In this comedy family format, a group of contestants are faced with 1 question but 100 possible answers. If they can answer correctly, they’ll win a large cash prize. The question will be nearly impossible to answer, so the contestants will take on five physical challenges that will allow them to eliminate some of the 100 potential choices based on their performance in each challenge. This is a brand new, hilarious comedy game show contestants leverage brains, brawn, and teamwork to increase their chances of answering questions correctly.
100 Choices was aired on BS Yoshimoto as episode 1 of the World HOMERUN Factory Season 1 in October 2023, and was later picked up by SPT after being showcased at ATF in 2023. As well as distributing the format internationally, in countries where SPT has a non-scripted production company, the format will be repped by: Stellify (UK), B17 (USA), Curio (Australia), Teleset (Mexico) and Floresta (Brazil).
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 FANY Studio to bring this fantastic format to our buyers around the world – and we can’t wait to unveil it at London Screenings at the end of 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.”
The Sony Pictures London Showcase 2025 will take place on Thursday 27th February as part of the London TV Screenings, and will give clients exclusive previews of SPT’s major non-scripted and formats slate and scripted drama titles. The showcase will be a mix of EP and talent-led presentations, meeting opportunities with key creatives, as well as clips, sizzles and full screenings of the titles on our slate.

These events offer exclusive first-looks and “deep dives” into some of the most hotly-anticipated formats, scripted and non-scripted content available across the market – as well as the chance to connect with world-class on and off-screen talent.
