The Seven Network today announced it has commissioned Stranded on Honeymoon Island, the new dating social experiment from the creators of the relationship show, Married at First Sight.
Premiering on Channel 7 and 7plus in 2024, Stranded on Honeymoon Island sees couples matched by experts following a dating event, before being stranded on a deserted island in nothing but their wedding attire. They will be isolated and pitted against the forces of nature, testing their strength as a couple.
Seven’s Chief Content Officer, Entertainment Programming, Angus Ross, said: “There is good reason broadcasters around the world have fallen in love with Stranded on Honeymoon Island and Seven is thrilled to bring this hot new series to Australian audiences.
“Snowman Productions and Endemol Shine Australia’s track record of success speaks for itself, and now they’re taking the reality dating genre to a whole new addictive level, blending fledgling love with the adventure of a lifetime. We have no doubt viewers will lap up every minute of this bold and exciting new format.”
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.”
