Global Agency acquıres international rıghts for Catch 21

The fast-paced game show combines the card game 21 with pop-culture trivia questions, featuring three contestants facing off against each other to start a blackjack hand from an oversized, but otherwise standard, 52-card deck. Players can use the cards they earn to improve their own hand or destroy one of their opponent’s. The winner of the competition becomes the champion and plays an exciting end game filled with decisions, where catching three hands of 21 wins the top prize.

The U.S. version airing on Sony’s Game Show Network remains one of the highest rated continuing series on the network since the program began in 2008, where over 300 episodes have been produced.

Izzet Pinto, CEO of Global Agency, said: ‘Catch 21 is a winning format and has proven to be one of the most successful and enduring formats since it first debuted in the U.S’.

Merrill Heatter, President of Merrill Heatter Productions, added: ‘The concept is simple, blending knowledge, nerves and strategy, and has worked perfectly for years as a daily game show that has appealed to the highly sought-after key demographics’.
