South Korea’s CJ ENM and France’s WeMake have struck a first-look deal to produce formats in France, the companies said in Cannes today on day one of Mip TV.

The first title from the CJ ENM catalogue likely to make its way to France as a result of the new partnership is new relationship/dating format, “EXchange”.

CJ ENM titles produced in France so far include “Grandpa Over Flowers” and “I Can See Your Voice”.

The Seoul-based conglomerate said today it would “continue to seek out production opportunities for the French marketplace alongside WeMake and its partners”.

Based in Paris, the five-year-old WeMake produced Netflix original unscripted format, “Until Dawn”, in France, and is producing adventure show “The Missing One” in Australia for Amazon Prime Video.

WeMake’s original formats include “The Big Crazy Game Night”, which has been renewed for a second season and has been optioned in six countries; and “Let’s All Play for France”, which has also been renewed for a second season.
