Now led by Florence Fayard, the company specialises in reality programming and factual entertainment.

Other hits include: the adventure reality format The Fifty, K7 Rising Star Format 2023, and the adventure competition, Good Luck Guys, another successful brand for W9.

BPF is also known for adaptations of international successes: Temptation Island, Popstars and Weakest Link.
