Media and entertainment powerhouse, Banijay Entertainment, has announced new comedy Kamoulox+. Produced by Shine Fiction and Les Molambakais, and directed by Arthur Sanigou, the new Canal+ Creation marks the long-awaited return of iconic duo Kad Merad and Olivier Baroux.

Originally created in the early 2000s, Kamoulox became a cult phenomenon with its absurd, fast-paced sketches parodying gameshows. Now reimagined for a new generation, Kamoulox+ will deliver a fresh wave of irreverent humour, featuring unseen footage, original micro-dramas, and brand-new segments alongside a host of special guests, fronted by Merad and Baroux.

Dominique Farrugia, CEO Shine Fiction: “Kamoulox was an iconic show in France renowned for its offbeat and absurd humour. I’m thrilled to collaborate once again with Kad and Olivier to reimagine this cult format and spark a new wave of comedy, designed to deliver pure, light-hearted entertainment, and unapologetic laughter.”

Launched in 2021, Shine Fiction continues to build a pipeline of ambitious premium content for the French market. Bolstering an international reputation, the company is behind recent titles including Michel Bussi’s adaptation Rien ne t’efface (TF1), comedy drama The Family Detective (TF1) and Carême (Apple TV+).
