2013-04-20_0208It’s not exactly The Golden Girls, but an undisclosed Australian broadcaster has picked up the format rights to an Israeli factual show The Gran Plan.

The 60-minute format features grandmothers providing advice to younger generations, often with comic results. In each episode, three strong willed grannies tackle situations from first dates to last dates, from career struggles to unhealthy addictions.

The distributor said The Gran Plan now has deals in 20 territories including Germany, Ukraine, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, the UK, Ireland, France and Spain.

Avi Armoza, CEO of Armoza Formats, said the show “seems to have filled a very big need in the market with its ability to better people’s lives through a combination of humor and emotion, offering real comfort and a touch of nostalgia in these challenging times around the world.”

Update: ActiveTV has Australian rights.

  2. I saw this at the MIP markets. It felt like a format from 15 years ago. I can’t imagine any of the Aussie broadcasters picking this up.

    It hasn’t even been picked up to series in its originating territory.
