Exclusive: The co-creator of The Amazing Race could find himself in a mad dash for the courthouse due to a fraud lawsuit filed Monday.
Ex-CBS and Warner Bros executive Leigh Collier is alleging that Bertram van Munster formed and then dissolved production company New Media Collective with her.
That’s the most innocuous part.
More ruinously, Collier is also claiming that the Emmy-winning producer went on to re-create the entity behind her back. Quoting a New Media Collective press release’s boasts of having “closed over $62 million in production deals,” Collier is legally nettled, to say the least.
“In or around 2014 Plaintiff pioneered the concept for a new media production company whereby a network of local, physical production companies would effectively be rolled-up under the auspices of a single entity to develop and create programming in local and often untapped markets for global use,” the former CBS TV VP,...

“For the finishing touch, God created the Dutch,” jokes Bertram van Munster, co-creator of The Amazing Race.
There’s certainly a few finishing touches on Van Munster’s latest project, Race to the Center of the Earth, a global adventure competition format that is currently airing on Nat Geo.
Van Munster produces the show as well as the long-running CBS reality format with his wife Elise Doganieri. The pair tell Deadline how they traversed the globe and also about plans to move into new areas of development.
Race to the Center of the Earth pits four teams of three against one another in a sprint across the globe for a $1M prize. Each group will start from a different corner of the Earth – South America, Russia, Canada and Southeast Asia – racing to win the bounty. They face untamed jungles, frozen arctic, arid deserts, bustling cities, treacherous mountains and vast oceans...

Disney+ is making a significant push into nonfiction territory. Led by its revival of “The Quest” — a fantasy reality-competition show starring teen participants — the company announced a slew of other nonfiction projects at the RealScreen Summit in New Orleans Wednesday.

Disney Plus is reviving “The Quest,” a critically acclaimed but short-lived fantasy reality series that aired on ABC in summer 2014. Casting is under way for a new version of the series, which will now focus on teenage contestants.

Both shows have been ordered as part of a new slate of unscripted series on Disney Plus, which also includes the six-part “Meet the Chimps” docuseries (produced via National Geographic) and an untitled show centered on Pixar’s SparkShorts program.

HBO Max announced its first unscripted series orders on Thursday.
The nascent streamer has picked up both “Legendary” and “The Greatest Space” straight-to-series with a 10-episode order for each. “Legendary” will feature contestants on voguing teams called “houses,” with the chance to win a cash prize in fashion and dance challenges. Voguing is a competitive style of modern dance featuring over-the-top fashion and choreography based on poses struck by models on a catwalk. Legendary will feature 10 voguing “houses,” each comprised of five performers and a leader – the house “parent.” The teams rotate in a round-robin format, and each episode documents a themed ball from start to finish.
“Legendary” is executive produced by Scout Productions’ David Collins, Michael Williams, and Rob Eric along with Renata Lombardo and Shant Tutunjian. Voguing has come back to the forefront of pop culture thanks to the impact of the FX series “Pose,” which recently aired its second season.
