The World’s Most Talented sourced by UKTV

UKTV has commissioned a brand new variety show to air on its entertainment channel Watch. Independent production company Renegade Pictures has been greenlit to make World’s Most Talented, a five-part series that travels the globe in search of talented people who have dedicated years of practice so that they can perform extraordinary and inspiring feats.

“This is the ultimate talent show for the 21st century. The jaw-dropping acts, and the hundred outspoken online critics from every corner of the globe, make the show part travelogue, part variety show.” – Hilary Rosen, Commissioning Editor for UKTV

The series sees internet-savvy presenters Laura Jackson and David Brain visit a different country each week as they leave no stone unturned in their pursuit of the most entertaining, shocking and inspiring new talent that will leave viewers enthralled.

Each act is uploaded to a jury of 100 online critics from around the globe. As well as giving their instant reactions, these outspoken Vloggers then vote for their winner in a nail-biting finale. The presenter with the act that comes out on top takes all the glory and the respective country is crowned the World’s Most Talented.

From Argentina ‘v’ Japan, Sweden and Mexico to India battling for the crown of World’s Most Talented with Germany, the winners are as surprising as the acts are diverse.

“With far off journeys to some of the world’s most diverse and exciting countries on the planet, World’s Most Talented is an exhilarating trip around the globe and is a fast-paced celebratory talent show, perfect for Watch.” – Steve North, General Manger for Watch

World’s Most Talented will air on Watch in early 2015.
