Dancing with the Stars set to sparkle in Hungary

A host of Hungarian celebrities are set to don their sequins and get ready to take the dancefloor by storm for the 10-part series in the Autumn.
The agreement with TV2 marks the 59th local production of the multi-award winning format. Over 350 series and 3,500 episodes of the hit format have aired globally in countries such as the United States, Myanmar, Brazil and Australia, where the seventeenth season finale took place this March.
Andre Renaud, SVP Global Format Sales for BBC Studios said: “I am delighted that Dancing with the Stars will be seen for the first time by viewers in my mother’s home nation of Hungary. We’re looking forward to working closely with TV2 to bring the Hungarian spirit to the format and I look forward to watching when it launches this autumn.”

The agreement with TV2 was brokered by Magdelena Garbacz, Format Manager for BBC Studios.
