STRANDED ON HONEYMOON ISLAND: UK VERSION OF REALITY SERIES COMING TO BBC IN 2025

IF YOU MISSED IT

Stranded on Honeymoon Island is no ordinary relationship show, it will fast track it all. Twelve unlucky-in-love singles will be matched into couples and then stranded on a deserted island. Isolated and pitted against the forces of nature, will true love blossom and survive…or dive?

In this bold and original new adventure dating format, six couples are matched by experts and then immediately after committing themselves to each other in an intimate ceremony, will be dramatically abandoned in idyllic isolation for the adventure of a lifetime.

On these remote beaches, fledgling relationships are soon put to the test as the couples live together and fend for themselves with few resources. Marooned and alone, they must communicate and collaborate to get by, with nowhere to run when the going gets tough. Will an escape from modern life bring them closer together or push them apart? Will it lead to love or loathing?

Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment at the BBC said: “We are thrilled to be bringing this dating reality format to the BBC.  This unique new dating series will see couples who have previously been unlucky in love being paired up and sent straight on their honeymoon with no phone, no apps and no contact with the outside world - let’s see if they can make it work on their desert island and find love.”

Murray Boland, CPL Creative Director said: “We are incredibly excited to be bringing this show to the BBC.  It’s a bold and innovative format but it also has heart and soul.  CPL takes great pride in the relationship reality formats it produces and Stranded On Honeymoon Island feels like a very special commission.”

Tim Gerhartz, Managing Director of SevenOne Studios International, said: “We are delighted that Stranded on Honeymoon Island has found the perfect home in the UK with the BBC. We are sure audiences in the UK will love this engaging, dramatic and emotional reality show that uniquely combines the relationship and reality genres in an exotic survival setting.”

Stranded on Honeymoon Island (12 x 60’) was commissioned for BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
