Peter Langenberg, the newly appointed COO of Banijay following the Endemol Shine takeover, will be ramping up the company’s content strategy in key territories, notably in Benelux, Germany and India.

Lucky Pics, a joint venture with Banijay-owned Brainpool, is set to produce “Catch!,” a sports event show which will showcase Luke Mockridge (“Lucky Man”), the Canadian-Italian comedian who lives in Germany.
“Catch!” is being created as a high-energy entertainment series following four celebrity-led teams who fight out for eight rounds, overcoming walls, containers and a number of other obstacles. Each team comprises top athletes and experts. The series will launch later this year on the Sat.1 channel.
