Channel 4 has commissioned a new international dating series from 2LE Media, Motion Content Group and Zeppelin, a Banijay Iberia company. The Language of Love (w/t) will see a group of Brits and a group of Spaniards pairing up at a dreamy Spanish country estate to see if they can find romance despite not speaking each other's language.
Set in a stunning finca in Andalusia, the eight-part series for Channel 4 will be hosted by Davina McCall alongside Spanish TV host, actor and singer Ricky Merino, who will be on hand to interpret how the couples' relationships are developing.
A group of Brits seeking romance will travel to Spain where they'll meet their potential partners - a group of Spanish speakers also looking for their own historia de amor - to test whether love is deeper than just words. Can sparks fly even with a language barrier to overcome? The newly-formed couples will take part in challenges and tasks to help them test their connection as well as learning more about each other's countries, their culture and their languages. At the end of the series, will they choose amor or adi s? The international lovers will face a big dilemma: to call it quits, stay together long distance, or perhaps move country to be with their new found love.
The Language of Love (w/t) is commissioned for Channel 4 by Phil Harris, Head of Entertainment and Events, and Genna Gibson, Commissioning Editor, Entertainment. The 8 x 60' series is produced by 2LE Media, Motion Content Group and Zeppelin, a Banijay Iberia company. Sophie Alcock is Series Producer and Executive producers are Michael Livingstone, Tom Thostrup and Georgina Hinds for 2LE Media, Martin Oxley for Motion Content Group, with Amparo Castellano and Salva Romero from Zeppelin. Banijay is the exclusive distributor, holding global format and distribution rights.
Channel 4's Phil Harris, Head of Entertainment and Events, comments: This is a truly fresh and entertaining dating experiment that throws up surprising cultural exchanges, hilarious linguistic mishaps and red-hot holiday romances all overseen by the original queen of reality, Davina, and her wonderful Spanish counterpart, Ricky.
Tom Thostrup, co-founder of 2LE Media adds: In this series we want to give our international singles the ultimate holiday romance and see if they can hurdle the language barrier to build a potential life-changing relationship, with Davina and Ricky willing them to succeed all the way.
Martin Oxley, Executive Producer for Motion Content Group says After a few years off from foreign travel, most of us have probably forgotten how to ask the way to the beach in Spanish. Motion couldn't be more delighted to brush up its language skills with Davina & Ricky, 2LE, Banijay and Channel 4 with this clever and truly laugh out loud new series. .
Amparo Castellano, General Director of Zeppelin, a Banijay Iberia company adds: We all know how powerful love and attraction is, and this new format takes the dating genre to the next level, truly exploring whether singletons can communicate when speaking different languages. It's been a highly entertaining concept to develop and co-produce with 2LE and Motion, and we're sure our international colleagues at Banijay will have success bringing this format to other markets around the world.
The Language of Love (w/t) will TX next year on Channel 4.
