We are thrilled to announce a new captivating format addition to Rabbit’s distribution catalogue: For the LOVE of MUSIC, produced by Monday Media Netherlands and distributed internationally by Rabbit Films.

For the LOVE of MUSIC (local Dutch title: Als IK het Zing) is a 6 x 49’ emotionally powerful music entertainment and human-interest format where A-list artists rediscover the soundtrack of their lives by meaningful performances that go viral and spark strong social media engagement. For the LOVE of MUSIC premiered on 1st January 2026 on Omroep MAX for NPO 1 and has already proven to be a ratings success in its home market! Season 1 consistently outperforming most competing channels in its timeslot, with the majority of episodes ranking #2 and season 2 is already in discussion.

In For the LOVE of MUSIC, four A-list artists perform transformative covers of iconic songs that have personally shaped them. Each episode features live music, an intimate audience, and a host, as artists reinterpret songs in new styles or genres, sharing the deep personal stories behind them, songs that may have offered comfort, marked a turning point, or forever connected them to a loved one. Each cover includes a creative twist that pushes the artist beyond their comfort zone. The show celebrates music as a universal language, delivering authentic, surprising, and emotionally resonant performances across generations.

Irini Kylkilahti, Senior International Sales Manager at Rabbit Films, commented:
“For the LOVE of MUSIC is pure prime-time magic! It offers spectacular musical moments, but also something even more valuable, authenticity and emotional connection. This feel-good format delivers a deeply touching viewing experience, creating an intimate sense of presence that resonates far beyond the screen. There’s no competition, only powerful storytelling through music. We are incredibly proud to bring this format to the international market.”

Chantal Labree, Creative Director of Monday Media Netherlands, added:
“It’s not just a show about music; it’s an emotional experience. This format turns iconic songs into shared memories. The intimate raw performances and personal stories are made to move audiences everywhere, and we can’t wait to watch the world fall in love with it.”

February 4, 2026

We’re thrilled to announce the successful launch of the first international adaptation of “Five Senses”!

“Five Senses” is a fun, studio-based game show where two teams of celebrities compete against each other in a series of games, all based on the five senses.

Commissioned by TV3 in Lithuania, the local adaptation, titled Sensodromas, premiered on January 6th as the most-watched program of the evening. The show continues to achieve strong ratings in its Tuesday night slot.

Originally created by Monday Denmark, Five Senses previously enjoyed a successful three-season run on TV2 Charlie in Denmark.

Arvydas Rimas, Creative Director at TV3, said:
“We’re absolutely crushing it with ‘Sensodromas’ here in Lithuania! It’s consistently winning its slot, and the numbers are fantastic. Huge thanks to the format owners for being so cool and letting us play around with the title and the vibe—that flexibility was a total gamechanger in making it hit home with our local audience. Plus, we have a sixth sense that this show will keep smashing the ratings on TV3!”

Palle Strøm, CCO of the Monday Group, added:
“We are so happy and proud of the show working so well for TV3 in Lithuania. They did such a great job. We hope this can inspire other countries to look into a format full of joy, skills, and good company.”
