A North American version of Norweigan public broadcaster NRK’s Best I Mest, All-Round Champion was officially announced in August 2019. Of note, earlier this year, the show was renewed for its second season ahead of its broadcast debut.

“We’re thrilled to announce a third season of All-Round Champion. This is a testament to our team’s ability to deliver something extremely special for audiences through aspirational storytelling,” said marblemedia co-CEO and executive producer Hornburg in a statement. “In all our competition series, we strive to take audiences on the experience with our competitors, showcasing their emotional and challenging journeys with all the highs and lows that come with winning and losing.”

This new season of All-Round Champion also follows a number of new greenlights for marblemedia.

For instance, this October, BYUtv commissioned two interconnected single camera scripted family sitcoms, The Parker Andersons and Amelia Parker, produced by marblemedia in association with Beachwood Canyon Productions.

As well, this summer saw CBC commission Race Against the Tide, a sand-sculpting competition series hosted by This Hour Has 22 Minutes actor and comedian Shaun Majumder. Also featuring expert judges, the series is co-produced with prodco Hemmings House.
