Sri Lanka’s ‘Catchpoint’ Catches Global Buzz in Entertainment Circles

COLOMBO (Nesws 1st); Sri Lanka has made a bold leap onto the global entertainment stage with Catchpoint, the high-energy game show format from ITV Studios, that will be airing on Sirasa TV. The show has already captured international media attention, marking a historic milestone as the first-ever South Asian adaptation of the globally successful format.

Originally created by Possessed and aired on BBC One in the UK, Catchpoint is a fast-paced quiz show that blends trivia with physical reflexes. Contestants must answer questions correctly to position themselves under the right spot—because if they’re wrong, they risk missing the ball that drops from above. It’s a thrilling mix of brains and agility, and now, Sri Lankan audiences are going to be experiencing the excitement firsthand.

The local version, produced by Sirasa TV in partnership with ITV Studios, has been praised for its high production value, vibrant set design, and engaging presentation.

The adaptation will not only resonate with Sri Lankan viewers but also caught the eye of international media outlets including C21Media, Realscreen, Broadcast Now, and Prensario Internacional, all of which have spotlighted the show’s regional significance and global potential.

This collaboration is part of a broader strategic partnership between ITV Studios and Sirasa TV, aimed at bringing world-class entertainment formats to South Asian audiences. The success of Catchpoint is being seen as a benchmark for future format adaptations in the region.

As the show continues to gain momentum, industry insiders are already calling it a game-changer for regional television. With its unique blend of knowledge, timing, and suspense, Catchpoint is not just a show—it’s a cultural moment for Sri Lankan TV. In Sri Lanka, Catchpoint will air this weekend.
