Talpa announced this morning that their brand new emotainment format The Story of My Life has been commissioned by Perviy (Channel One) in Russia.

The news comes shortly after the format’s launch at MIPCOM. A full series is in production to be aired on RTL4 in the Netherlands early next year, as well as a recent commission by Vox in Germany, as reported by TVBIZZ.

Maarten Meijs, Managing Director of Talpa Global, commented: “It’s fantastic to see one of our key launches receiving such great feedback at MIP, with two immediate commissions and many more currently in negotiation. We’re thrilled to bring this talk show with incredible makeovers and honest interviews with celebrities to Russia with Channel One.”

The Story of my Life is a talk show with a twist...because celebrity couples get a sneak preview of how they’ll look at two different stages of their future. In 25 years... in 50 years... and maybe even older than that.

The new format was included in TVBIZZ Magazine’s Shopping List for MIPCOM 2016.
