Montreal’s Incendo has struck a deal with Fox Entertainment to oversee program sales of its unscripted content in Canada, including format sales of its unscripted IP. Among the series Incendo will represent in Canada are The Masked Singer (pictured) and I Can See Your Voice, which are produced by in-house studio Fox Alternative Entertainment, as well as the Znak & Co.-produced Ultimate Tag and 24 Hours to Hell and Back, produced by Gordon Ramsay’s Studio Ramsay. Fox Entertainment was formed in 2019 following Disney’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox, which Incendo previously held a distribution deal with under its Incendo/Fox joint venture. Incendo is currently in talks with Canadian broadcasters and production companies on potential format deals, according to the release.
