Banijay Brands Unveils Raft of Games and Publishing Deals

Banijay Brands, the commercial arm of Banijay, announced a slate of licensing deals for its portfolio of brands across the game and publishing categories.

Following on from the success of “The Official Peaky Blinders Cookbook,” White Lion Publishing (The Quarto Group), in collaboration with Peaky Blinders’ producer and brand owner Caryn Mandabach Productions, will release two new titles this year in celebration of the show’s 10th anniversary. “Peaky Blinders: Official Wit & Wisdom” is an illustrated quote book, and “Peaky Blinders: The Official Visual Companion” is a luxury publication showcasing the visual development of the series.

Banijay Brands has furthered its partnership with games specialist Ginger Fox for the all-new “Limitless Win” board game and card game. The products will be released later this year. In addition, Ginger Fox has extended its license for the “Richard Osman’s House of Games” card game and party game.

A book deal with BBC Books/Ebury for the quiz show, “Pointless,” has been secured, with the new title, “Pointless Facts for Curious Minds,” written by Alan Connor. University Games has also extended its partnership with Banijay Brands for a “Pointless” board game that will be refreshed for release later this year.

“Banijay has a strong portfolio of iconic game shows, which garner huge audiences on-screen, and it’s wonderful to be able to extend this enjoyment into people’s homes,” says Alice Bernardi, director, international brand licensing, Banijay Brands. And, as ‘Peaky Blinders’ heads towards its 10th anniversary, we are excited to begin unveiling a number of special products in celebration of this milestone.”
