KESHET INTERNATIONAL COMPLETES RAFT OF SALES FOR DINNER WITH GAVIN ROSSDALE
Celebrity food interview show featuring Serena Williams, Common, Selma Blair, Sir Tom Jones, Brooke Shields, and Jack McBrayer sold in Australia to SBS, Canada to Corus Entertainment, and Poland to CANAL+
Keshet International (KI) has completed a raft of sales in Australia, Canada, and Poland for the unscripted food series hosted by Gavin Rossdale, lead singer and songwriter of the iconic band Bush, following its launch to market at the 2025 London TV Screenings.
Originally produced by Roundtable Entertainment and Bungalow Media+ Entertainment alongside Gavin Rossdale for VIZIO’s WatchFree+, Dinner with Gavin Rossdale brings an exciting lineup of celebrity guests into Rossdale's home for intimate cooking sessions, candid conversations, and, of course, music.
KI has licensed first and second windows in Australia, including a Free TV window to SBS for its SBS Food channel, of this celebrity interview series featuring tennis legend Serena Williams, multi-hyphenate entertainer Common, actress Selma Blair, iconic singer Sir Tom Jones, author and actress Brooke Shields, and actor and comedian Jack McBrayer.
In Canada, the global content producer and distributor has completed a license agreement with Corus Entertainment that will see this 6x60’ series premiere on their new food and cooking channel Flavour Network from 8 June 2025. While in Poland, KI has completed a deal with CANAL+ that will see Dinner with Gavin Rossdale premiere on their lifestyle channel Canal+ Kuchnia.
As Gavin Rossdale and Bush embark on their 2025 world tour, KI continues to negotiate deals elsewhere.
Kelly Wright, KI’s MD of Distribution, says, “We're pleased that buyers at the London TV Screenings responded so positively to Gavin's debut as a TV host in Dinner with Gavin Rossdale. Not only is Gavin a real-life rockstar, but he’s also a truly talented chef. There's something for every viewer to love in this show - from Gavin’s meal choices and food prep to the format’s meaningful and intimate insights into celebrities’ lives. We love this show and so look forward to announcing more tape sales soon. Meanwhile, the format Dinner with... also generated genuine interest following our pitch session at the Paris Unscripted Showcase last month.”
Dinner with Gavin Rossdale was created by Gavin Rossdale and is headed by Executive Producers Dominic Ianno, Alex Dundas, and Sarah Donnelly of Roundtable Entertainment, Bob Yari of Magenta Light Studios and Simon Fawcett of Filmtrax Ltd. Directed by Jesse Davey, it is produced in partnership with Gavin Rossdale and Bungalow Media + Entertainment’s Robert Friedman and Mike Powers, with post-production provided by Gavin Barclay and Creator Engine. Keshet International oversees global distribution of both the tape and format outside of the US.
Having launched Dinner with Gavin Rossdale at the 2025 London TV Screenings, KI recently showcased the format Dinner with... to buyers at the inaugural Paris Unscripted Showcase in April, alongside other formats including Keshet Broadcasting’s studio-based gameshow Domination, which Tresor has recently adapted for RTL in Germany as Schlauer als Alle - Schlägst du Deutschland?.
Dinner with Gavin Rossdale is the first celebrity chat show KI has acquired for its handpicked catalog for dramas, factual tape, and entertainment formats. Other food-related content in the global distributor’s slate includes the entertainment formats The Perfect Dessert, where judges vote with their eyes first; Help! I Can’t Cook, a hilarious celebrity reality competition show; Battle of the Chefs, a cooking competition show where two chefs travel abroad to re-create local cuisine in a head-to-head battle; and The Recipe, in which two of the nation’s favorite chefs collect recipes from all over the country to find the most cherished national dishes.
