BriskPace Unlimited Adapts The Greatest Duo for Germany
The German version of the Turkish singing competition format will be produced by BriskPace Unlimited with Sebastian Wimmer.
Updated on Nov. 3, 2026 in Entertainment — General
BriskPace Unlimited will develop a German-language adaptation of the Turkish competition format The Greatest Duo, licensed from Global Agency. Sebastian Wimmer will produce the German version alongside BriskPace Unlimited.
Why it matters
The deal extends the format's international reach following its global launch to buyers at Mipcom. It also marks the first format developed by BriskPace Unlimited, a company launched in 2025.
The deal is documented through a licensing agreement tied to the format's Mipcom launch, with no viewership or budget figures disclosed. No broadcaster has been named, leaving the German airing platform and schedule unconfirmed.
The players
BriskPace Unlimited
A production company owned by BriskPace Studios, launched in 2025 by former Vuelta Germany CEO Al Munteanu, and developing The Greatest Duo as its first format.
Sebastian Wimmer
A producer who has previously created local versions of Love Island, Dancing with the Stars and Idols, and will produce the German adaptation.
Global Agency
A content licensing company that licensed The Greatest Duo format following its global launch at Mipcom.
The details
Global Agency licensed The Greatest Duo, a singing competition where duos face individual scoring, rising stages, emotional reunions and partner choices. Endemol separately acquired rights to adapt the format for Italian audiences.
Timeline
October 2026: The Greatest Duo launched to buyers at Mipcom.
November 3, 2026: Global Agency announced the German adaptation deal.
Format Trade
Turkish competition formats are being licensed across European markets, as shown by Endemol's parallel acquisition of rights for Italian audiences. The German adaptation extends this pattern of cross-border format trade from Turkey into a major Western European television market.
No broadcaster or streaming platform has been announced, so viewers cannot yet know where or when the German version will air. Audiences will only gain access once a commissioning partner is confirmed.
The takeaway
Format licensing lets a single competition concept reach multiple countries before any broadcaster commits. Readers tracking international TV should watch for a German broadcaster announcement to confirm the adaptation's path.
