The Coolest OG’s is a 13 episode reality competition TV show that sees older people aged 60- 80 competing in a series of fun and unexpected challenges with the help of the Gen Z crowd. From modelling, songwriting, dancing, gaming, cooking, art and adventure sports, the vibrant older people are put to the test by their younger counterparts. A cash prize is up for grabs by the person who impresses influential young judges.
The TV show made its global debut on SABC 2 in June 2021 and was licensed by Showmax in September 2021. The show was shortlisted for the ‘Competition Show Of The Year’ at the London Content Innovation Awards 2021 and it was acquired by Banijay (Masterchef, Survivor, Big Brother) for exclusive rights to its format adaptation across the world.
Janong Digital Agency has the exclusive rights to sign brand partners that wish to leverage this prime time opportunity in South Africa.
