Global content creator, producer and distributor Endemol Shine Group today announced the first international deal for entertainment culinary format Family Food Fight.

Endemol Shine North America has been commissioned by ABC to produce an 8-part series of the hit Australian format. Hosted by restauranteur, food maven and NY Times best-selling cookbook author Ayesha Curry, the competition will feature eight families from across the country sharing both a common kitchen and a common goal: to claim the title of America’s No. 1 Food Family.

Created by Endemol Shine Australia “Family Food Fight” is an original format developed with Channel Nine where it has recently been renewed for a second season.

Lisa Perrin, CEO of Creative Networks, Endemol Shine Group said; “We are incredibly proud of Family Food Fight at Endemol Shine Group. It is a fresh, fun and diverse show which celebrates all the best aspects of a successful family friendly format. We’re sure that deal with ABC in the US will supercharge interest in the series in other territories and look forward to seeing what the teams do with it for the ABC audience.”

Mark Fennessy CEO at Endemol Shine Australia added; “We’re delighted that Family Food Fight is set to go international with a new home and partner in ABC with the very fabulous Ayesha Curry. As the second Australian series ramps up we’re confident this is the first of many new territories taking on such a unique format that puts passionate multi-cultural and multi-generational foodie families to the test”.
Family Food Fight will take homestyle cooking to a new level as family recipes, rich in tradition and shared over generations, are put on display. Rather than five-star restaurant cuisine, the show will focus on relatable, yet aspirational, home-cooked meals, inspiring budding home cooks across the nation to don their aprons and get into the kitchen together.

With a mix of fast-paced cooking fun, heaped helpings of good humour and healthy rivalries, the Family Food Fight families will cook their hearts out as they strive to impress. But despite everyone’s delectable dishes, only one family will claim the coveted title and take home the $100,000 prize.

Endemol Shine Group creates world-class content for all platforms including global hits Black Mirror, Big Brother, Deal or No Deal, Humans, Hunted, MasterChef, Peaky Blinders, The Island, The Brain, Tin Star and Your Face Sounds Familiar.
