Fremantle, Nippon TV tie up on "Ants", Japanese competition format inspired by ant colonies
21 February 2025

Fremantle has acquired worldwide (ex-Asia) distribution rights to Nippon TV’s unscripted format, "Ants".    

The deal, announced just ahead of MIP London, which opens this weekend, also gives Fremantle rights in Indonesia and India, where the company has production offices, and Singapore. 

Nippon TV will take care of distribution in the rest of Asia. 

The show, inspired by real ant colonies, transforms contestants to the size of ants who have to compete in super-sized challenges such as transporting food items across a giant kitchen.  

The competition show was created and produced by Nippon TV and further developed by Fremantle North America for global expansion.
