Exclusive: Joyn orders German version of Banijay’s ‘Party Workers’

Party Workers

German streaming platform Joyn has commissioned the first international adaptation of Banijay’s reality docu-soap format Party Workers, TBI can reveal.

Produced by Banijay Productions Germany, the German iteration is being filmed in Majorca, Spain.

Originally a Banijay Productions France show for W9, Party Workers documents the experiences of a group of young people as they travel to party hot spots where they must hold down jobs, take part in challenges and adapt to the culture.

The series has broadcast more than 20 series over a decade in France, with the show set in locations such as Ibiza, Las Vegas, Thailand and Australia.

Arno Schneppenheim, MD of Banijay Productions Germany, said: “Party Workers is the perfect addition to our portfolio as it is packed with humour, fun and entertainment. We are looking forward to working with Joyn to bring this hit French format to our audiences.”

Lucas Green, CCO, operations at Banijay, added: “With its high-energy and feel-good nature, Party Workers is a compelling format which has consistently delivered strong ratings in France.

“Reality is always a popular non-scripted genre but the current demand for it is at an all-time high. With the proven success of Banijay Productions Germany in producing shows in this space, such as Battle Of The Reality Stars, this first adaptation of the format is in safe hands.”

Banijay Productions Germany is behind unscripted titles such as Temptation Island, Trash Or Treasure and Battle Of The Reality Stars. The company also includes label Doc.Banijay, which specialises in sports documentares.
