Family entertainment gameshow format commissioned by Skai and Sigma TV,

produced by FOSS Productions 

Amsterdam. 25 November 2025. Independent international distribution company Lineup Industries’ Beat My Guest, a classic gameshow format featuring five singers, five days, five homes, five of their favourite songs but only one winning singer, has been commissioned in Greece. National broadcaster Skai, and its Greek Cypriot channel partner Sigma TV, have commissioned 120 episodes, to be produced by FOSS Productions.

Beat my Guest was originally created by Mark van Berkel and co-developed by Reservoir Prod. The family entertainment, access primetime format sees five singers performing a song based on a daily musical theme, such as pop divas, soul and R&B or summer hits with the studio bought into the comfort of their own homes. Each contestant hosts an evening giving them the opportunity to transform their living rooms into the stage and they get to choose the theme. Episodes are intercut with performer reviews from the other contestants as the audience learns what they really thought of each other…but it’s not always positive and not necessarily sincere – tactics reign supreme! At the end of each day the guests give marks out of ten across three categories: charisma, showcase and voice and the average is the host’s score. The host will also have a bonus point to award for best guest with all scores revealed at the end of the week.

Ed Louwerse, co-founder of Lineup Industries, said: “Beat my Guest is light-hearted, but has competition at its very core which makes it utterly compelling, heart-warming entertainment featuring real people and their passions that never goes out of fashion. Alkistis Marangoudaki and the team at Skai saw the huge potential of the format and we worked together with FOSS to realise a refreshed version for its family audience.”

Alkistis Marangoudaki, Chief Content Officer at Skai said: “We are delighted to bring Beat My Guest to Greek TV. It’s a highly entertaining format that celebrates music, personality and the joy of meeting real people into their real homes. We feel that the energy, light-hearted fun and originality of this concept are a perfect match for Skai’s audience. We are excited to collaborate with Lineup Industries and FOSS Productions to deliver a vibrant, feel-good show that will quickly become a daily favorite.”
