At Seven’s Upfront on Wednesday, October 18, the network announced the new reality format Stranded On Honeymoon Island for 2024.
The show is a spin-off of the popular Danish version and comes from the creators of Nine’s hugely successful Married at First Sight.
Endemol Shine Australia’s Chief Executive Officer, Peter Newman, said: “Stranded On Honeymoon Island is a bold, fresh and filmic new relationship experiment with a dramatic and instantly compelling opening. The inspired fusion of the most powerful elements of the survival and relationship genres has created a raw, honest and utterly absorbing take on the search for love that Australian audiences will find completely irresistible!”
Managing Director of Red Arrow Studios International, Tim Gerhatz, said: “Stranded on Honeymoon Island is really creating a sensation among broadcasters around the world and we are absolutely delighted that the Seven Network has snapped up the show for Australia so soon after its successful launch in Belgium. We are sure that Seven’s viewers will love its heady combination of real-life experience and exotic escapism.”
Stranded On Honeymoon Island is a radical dating experiment that sees couples matched together following a speed dating event, before being stranded on a deserted island in nothing but their wedding attire. Isolated and pitted against the forces of nature, and without the distractions of modern-day dating, can true love be found?
It’s created by Danish production company Snowman Productions and produced by Endemol Shine Australia (a Banijay Company) for the Seven Network.
Seven acquired the rights to Stranded On Honeymoon Island from Red Arrow Studio International, who distributes the format internationally.
