They won't. At all. This is a known and done discussion - international television is a very different animal than international film and because of the licensing and ethnographic makeups of television, it's far more likely for a show concept to be exported than the show itself. Big Brother, House of Cards and other large, noteworthy shows are remakes, not exports and the media experiences changes to reflect the local environment. Even when shows are exported, what works in the US won't necessarily work elsewhere. Germans loved Baywatch, for example, and there's a lengthy Wikipedia article about recutting The Simpsons for foreign markets. But most importantly, TV reflects the gender bias of its viewers, who are mostly women.
