While “Lucha de familia” may be the most accurate translation for “Family Feud,” U.S. Hispanic audiences who enjoyed the Spanish-language version of the long-running TV game show know it by the way the questions are posed — “100 Latinos Dijeron,” or “100 Latinos say …”
The program was a signature offering from the now-defunct MundoFox broadcast TV network. Now, it’s coming back to U.S. Hispanic TV.
Some two years after its final episode on 21st Century FOX’s former network, “100 Latinos Dijeron” is returning via LBI Media‘s EstrellaTV.
That’s thanks to a multi-year licensing agreement with Fremantle Media to co-produce it from its Empire Center headquarters in Burbank, Calif.
“Family Feud” has spawned multiple adaptations in over 50 international markets outside of the United States. Most recently, the Steve Harvey-fronted U.S. version of the classic game show has been seen, years after first becoming famous with host Richard Dawson.
In Mexico, the show is called 100 Mexicanos Dijeron and airs on Televisa’s Las Estrellas network. It is hosted by Marco Antonio Regil, who also served as the presenter for MundoFox’s “100 Latinos Dijeron.”
EstrellaTV did not reveal who will host the new incarnation of “100 Latinos Dijeron.”
EstrellaTV will begin airing new episodes in early 2019, and the “celebrity host” will be announced in January 2019, LBI Media said.
“We are excited to bring this new adaptation of ‘Family Feud’ to Hispanic audiences in the U.S., because it is in line with EstrellaTV’s strategy of providing Spanish-language content that is not only entertaining but also relevant to Latinos living here in the United States,” LBI CEO Lenard Liberman said.
“Family Feud is a huge part of Fremantle’s history,” said Fremantle Mexico’s Coty Cagliolio. “The format has brought us a lot of success and we have no doubt that ‘100 Latinos Dijeron’ will continue to entertain viewers in the U.S.”
From 2006-2008, U.S. viewers also saw Regil helm a similarly themed game show under the name “¿Qué Dice la Gente?” The program aired on the TeleFutura network, now UniMás.
