Fremantle has secured global production and distribution rights to Holey Moley (also know as Hole In One), an original hit format from ABC and Eureka Productions, a Fremantle label.

Fremantle reports it is building a “significant” Holey Moley production hub for the format in Portimão, Portugal, designed to enhance production values and deliver partner efficiencies. Initial filming is slated for May and June. Global territories adapting the format will be announced soon.

Jennifer Mullin, Group CEO, Fremantle, commented: “Holey Moley has proven its success in the United States, with its unique blend of comedy, competition, and large‑scale spectacle, attracting a significant broad audience. We are excited to drive the format’s international expansion through our new global production Hub in Portugal. Led by Fremantle Global Entertainment in close collaboration with the Fremantle Portugal team, this theme‑park‑scale set and world‑class production infrastructure enable us to deliver premium, high‑impact entertainment while achieving the production efficiencies essential in today’s global market. This Hub underlines our ambition and further strengthens our growing Fremantle entertainment portfolio.”

Holey Moley is an extreme mini-golf competition where contestants face off against each other on larger-than-life holes designed to test their putting precision, agility and nerves. Along the way, they take on wild obstacles such as spinning windmills, erupting volcanoes, planetary rings and slippery slopes, all accompanied by comedic commentary from charismatic hosts.

Since launching in the US and Australia, the format has proven a breakout success. On ABC in the US, Holey Moley was a ratings hit, regularly ranking as the #1 show of the night. On Channel 7 in Australia, the consolidated audience more than doubled the channel’s primetime average.
