Red Arrow Studios International’s Latin American distribution arm Spiral International has secured a deal with Colombian broadcaster RCN for a local version of My Man Can (Mi Pareja Puede). The show is set to air on Saturday, August 25 at 8pm.
Other Latin American broadcasters who have adapted the hit gameshow format include TV Azteca (Mexico), TV Record (Brazil), Telefe (Argentina) and America TV (Peru).
Originally produced by RedSeven Entertainment, a Red Arrow Studios company, for SAT.1 in Germany, My Man Canis a hugely successful comedy game show, which sees four women gamble on the abilities of their partners – putting their men’s courage and skills to the test.
“We are very excited about the potential of My Man Can in Colombia. We think the show’s energy and humor will really work with our viewers, particularly when the contestants try to do the impossible so as not to disappoint their partners who always have the highest of expectations! And we are delighted to have secured a spectacular couple as the hosts; María Laura Quintero and Omar Murillo have great chemistry and bring lots of energy to the show,” said Mariana Cortés, VP of Content at RCN.
“My Man Can have proven to be a huge hit with audiences across Latin America. We’re delighted to be building upon this success and introducing Colombian audiences to this highly entertaining show that tests how well couples really know each other in a fun and unique way. There is no one better than RCN and their in-house production team to capture the nuances of the local Colombian culture and prepare the series for a primetime slot,” commented Zasha Robles, executive producer and Managing director at Spiral International.
“My Man Can is a big, bold family entertainment format that continues to be a success around the world. We’re excited to strengthen the show’s reach in Latin America and see this new local version hit screens in Colombia,” added Bo Stehmeier, EVP Global Sales, Red Arrow Studios International.
