Gil Formats’ ‘Life on Duty’ has been picked up for local adaptation in the US by Ben Silverman and Howard T. Owens’ Propagate Content. The deal comes following the recent recommissioning of the format for a second season by Mediaset’s Cuatro, and new deals in France and Canada.
Created by Gil Formats, who also distributes the property, ‘Life on Duty’ is an original Factual Entertainment format that follows characters from several emergency services. The series contrasts the brutal and at times heroic days and nights spent on the job with their often neglected private lives, emphasizing the sacrifices emergency service workers pay for saving other people’s lives.
