In July 2026 Mediaset announced that the Italian adaptation of the internationally successful “The 1% Club” would launch on Canale 5 under the title “Club dell'1%,” with television presenter Michelle Hunziker as host. The format pits 100 contestants against a series of logic‑based questions that become progressively harder, eliminating players until only the top 1 % remain, with eliminated contestants’ stakes feeding a growing jackpot.

By early August 2026 the programme was confirmed as part of Canale 5’s 2026/27 prime‑time lineup, scheduled alongside other flagship shows. In addition, a casting call was opened for “Super Karaoke,” a revived karaoke competition also to be presented by Hunziker, targeting adult residents of Liguria.
