Nippon lines up drama, format pair

Japan’s Nippon Television has created a new drama and pair of new formats, which will launch at MIPCOM.

The shows are the 10x60mins drama Pretty Proofreader and formats Burning Questions! and The Character.

This comes soon after Atsushi Hatayama (pictured) was appointed president of international business development.

Burning Questions! is a game show of true or false answers in which embarrassing secrets are revealed about losing contestants, while The Character in which anime-aficionado celebrities create 2D manga characters.
