Cannes − FremantleMedia has secured two new runs for My Mom Cooks Better Than Yours in Albania (Top Channel) and in the Czech Republic (TV Nova). The total number of local versions of the show is now seven. Turkish broadcaster TRT has commissioned a second season of the show.

My Mom Cooks Better than Yours was cooked up by Spanish producer Mandarina and launched on Spain’s Cuatro in March 2014, where it was an immediate hit. FremantleMedia has already sold the format to be picked up by El Trece (Argentina), Prima TV (Romania), TRT (Turkey) Pop TV (Slovenia) and TV Joj (Slovakia). My Mom Cooks Better than Yours has just won a C21 Format Award for Best Studio Based Gameshow.

Chris O’Dell, Head of Global Entertainment Production, FremantleMedia, said, ‘We’re delighted to add Albania and the Czech Republic to a growing list of international broadcasters who are hungering for My Mom Cooks Better than Yours. By fusing food, comedy, competition and family clashes, this action-packed format instantly strikes a chord with anyone who’s ever tried (and failed) to impress their parents in the kitchen, and are looking forward to rolling it out further to even more markets in the future.”
