Set to take place from April 28-30 in the heart of Paris, the event promises to spotlight the rapidly growing unscripted TV sector in France and Europe.

A much-needed platform

As MipTV prepares to move from Cannes to London in 2025, the Paris Unscripted Showcase steps in to fill the resulting gap. This mini-market will provide a platform for producers and distributors to display their latest offerings to broadcasters and streaming platforms from around the world.

The lineup features notable French production giants such as Banijay France, Mediawan, Satisfaction, and France TV Distribution. In addition, several other key players in the industry will also participate, including 2P2L, Arpagon, Can’t Stop Media, Dreamspark, Effervescence, M6 Formats, Tooco, Webedia, and WeMake. These companies will have the opportunity to reveal new content, expanding their reach to a global audience.

One of the standout features of the Paris Unscripted Showcase is the myriad of events that have been arranged by the participating companies. These events will include exclusive content reveals, tailor-made sessions, and opportunities for attendees to engage with content creators across a wide array of genres. From games and entertainment to talk shows, social experiences, reality TV, and factual programming, there’s something for everyone.

Innovation and diversity

“This is a unique opportunity to celebrate the innovation and diversity of French and European unscripted formats,” said a spokesperson for the Paris Unscripted Showcase. The event symbolizes the beginning of a stronger collaboration between format producers and broadcasters on a global scale, reflecting the current needs and trends of the TV market.

Global reach

The Paris Unscripted Showcase is expected to attract buyers from the U.S., Europe, Australia, China, Africa, and the Middle East. This broad attendance underlines the international appeal of the content that French producers and distributors are creating.
