Fremantle has added Singapore-made unscripted dating format “Wingman” to its global catalogue in an exclusive licensing deal announced in Cannes on Monday (12 Oct). The deal excludes Singapore and select Asian markets, which Mediacorp will manage.

The dating reality format, owned by Mediacorp and Fremantle’s Beach House Pictures (BHP), sees singles entrust their dating choices to their closest friends, putting friendship, loyalty and attraction to the test as the search for love unfolds.

The format originated through Mediacorp’s Creatives Assembly Unscripted Formats Pitch in 2023. Mediacorp and BHP subsequently co-developed the concept.
