Exclusive: Cuatro readies local version of All3Media’s The Cube

Telecinco-owned Cuatro is to air a local version of All3Media gameshow The Cube, TBIvision has learned.

Spanish producer Euro TV Producciones struck a deal with the distributor to remake the format and will make a 60 episode series.

Cuatro will air the series in January in a daily access primetime slot and it will be the first time the format hasn’t been produced for primetime.

“We cannot stop developing our own IP but then again we’re in the international TV industry so when we see interesting things we buy them,” said Marco Fernandez de Araoz, director of international sales and acquisitions at Euro TV Producciones-owner Veralia Group.
