Not that this is going to happen, especially as the early stories referenced Big Brother and I used two characters from a particular TV series in my season four.  |
The Media Mogul would hire a firm of consultants who would use paralegals to find out if there was any intellectual copyright on the name and the outline of the story.
If there was, they would either approach or use a third party to approach and arrange a copyright licence, basically permission to use the idea/name etc. Royalties or simply credits to would be sorted out etc.
