TGC Global Entertainment, a Los Angeles-based international distribution company, has signed a landmark deal with Nigeria’s Bafot Studios to distribute the TV game show format, THE BIG FAMILY DREAM.

Oludare Onasanya, CEO of Bafot Studios, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “This deal confirms our original vision that THE BIG FAMILY DREAM is a unique format that can be produced globally.

“The show promotes positive family values and highlights the critical role of family bonding in financial decision-making and achieving family dreams.”

The show’s core mission goes beyond entertainment. “THE BIG FAMILY DREAM has a powerful message about financial literacy and how it can help families achieve their aspirations,” Onasanya continued.

“Producers and broadcasters across North America, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and other regions where TGC Global Entertainment operates can now amplify this message.”

Bafot Studios acknowledges the crucial support of corporate brands in Nigeria throughout the show’s first three seasons.

The program has already made significant impacts, with participants winning dream homes, quality furniture, scholarships, a complete kitchen set, and substantial cash prizes.

Roxanne Pompa, Senior Sales & Acquisition Executive at TGC Global Entertainment for North America, Hispanic, and Latin American markets, played a key role in brokering the deal. Previously the VP of International Formats for Paramount Global Content Distribution, Pompa shared her excitement:

“I’m ecstatic to have discovered this innovative format through Oludare Onasanya and Bafot Studios. THE BIG FAMILY DREAM is exactly the kind of game show we need—bringing families together, providing valuable financial lessons, and offering life-changing prizes. It’s uplifting, entertaining, and truly impactful.”

Phil Gurin, President of TGC Global Entertainment and a veteran TV format executive known for shows like Canada’s Ultimate Challenge, The Singing Bee, and Shark Tank, emphasized the company’s mission: “We are thrilled to collaborate with Bafot Studios in bringing this original format to the world. As an independent distributor, we seek bold, creative ideas from companies everywhere.

“With THE BIG FAMILY DREAM, we believe we’ve found a uniquely original format with tremendous international potential. We are proud to introduce this groundbreaking show from Africa.”

According to official TGC Global Entertainment reports, THE BIG FAMILY DREAM is the first Africa-originated format to be included in their distribution catalog.

The show is currently in pre-production for its fourth season in Nigeria. Onasanya encourages Nigerian families to stay tuned: “We have exciting announcements coming. Follow our social media handles (@thebigfamilydream) to stay informed.”
