Steve Harvey is bringing ‘Family Feud’ to Ghana and South Africa
American television host, Steve Harvey is bringing popular TV show ‘Family Feud’ to the continent of Africa.
Harvey’s company got the license from Fremantle, a British international television content and production/distribution subsidiary of Bertelsmann’s RTL Group to launch and host Ghanaian and South African versions of the television show.
“Bringing Family Feud to Africa has long been a dream of mine,” says Harvey who has hosted Family Feud since 2010. “I believe Family Feud will become a household name for local South African and Ghanaian families. And this is just the beginning in Africa. I expect this show to lead to multiple media and business projects in and throughout the continent.”
Harvey stated during his South African media encounters that his end goal for the show is to create a city versus city type of production, where it ends up resembling a big soccer game. “Yes, America is my home and I have a great family there, great friends and great relationships. That’s home but it’s not my homeland, Africa is my homeland. I’ve always wanted to come here and own land, and do something meaningful. Since ‘Family Feud’ was so popular in the states, I thought, you know what would be great? If African families played against African families, and I hosted that. Eventually, my goal is to have South Africa play against Ghana, Joburg against Durban. My goal is to have it that way.”
‘Family Feud’ features two families competing to name the most popular responses to gathered survey questions in order to win cash and prizes is one of television’s longest-running and top-rated game shows watched by audiences around the world.
It is available in over 70 international markets including the U.S., United Kingdom, Australia, France, India, Indonesia, and now Ghana and South Africa.
Production will start in October 2019 in Johannesburg, South Africa, and will air in mid-2020. Rapid Blue, a member of the BBC Studios family of production will produce the African versions of the game show.
