Commenting on the deal, Vasha Wallace, EVP Global Acquisitions and Development at Fremantle said:
“We premiered Freeze at London Screenings and it had an absolutely fantastic response, with interest from our international partners around the world. When the team at FANY Studio first showed us a clip of Freeze we all thought it was hilarious and we knew this would resonate with audiences everywhere. We have really enjoyed collaborating with the teams at FANY Studio on this highly entertaining game show from Amazon Prime Video. Freeze is all about having nerves of steel and a fun and unique mechanism that is bound to keep viewers of all ages entertained. We look forward to bringing the addictive and exceptional format to a global audience.”
Commenting on the deal, Mari Kawamura, Head of Global Business at FANY Studio said:
“This was our first global deal since our company was established in May 2023, and we are honored to work with such a worldwide company like Fremantle. Many Japanese children grew up playing games “freeze (DO NOT MOVE)” with their friends, and we believe this simple rule is universal which can make audiences laugh. We look forward to expanding our format to the world and bringing our mechanism of smile and laughter to a global audience.”
