Keshet International (“Trust No One”) and France’s Satisfaction Group have signed a multi-territory deal to form a creative alliance in the non-scripted formats space.
Under the pact, both Satisfaction and Keshet International (Ki) will be co-creating IP, as well as teaming up to develop and produce new and existing non-scripted formats through their production labels and hubs in France, Germany, Israel, the U.K. and the U.S.
In practical terms, Ki and Satisfaction will each have a first-look option on all existing and new non-scripted formats from the deal in each of their local territories, including Tresor in Germany, and Keshet 12 in Israel.
The two banners will also share local knowledge and expertise in key markets to secure new commissions. They will leverage their own established talent and IP across top markets, including in the U.S. and the U.K. where both Keshet and Satisfaction have made headway recently.

People across the planet know her as the “Friday” singer, but teenager Rebecca Black wants to leave that all behind and start a serious recording career. Her video for “Friday” has had more than 120 million YouTube views, most of which were people who loaded the page simply for the opportunity to give the song a “thumbs-down.”
But despite the fact that people hate her, she can’t sing, and her songwriting team is atrocious, some people besides Black do think she could have a future in the music business. In fact, she’s already got a recording contract for a five-song Ep to be released later this year. So perhaps we’ll get to learn what happened on Saturday after all.
