Channel 4 announces First Dates spin-off

Channel 4 has commissioned a new First Dates spin-off series, First Dates Beach Club.

The eight-part series will, according to Channel 4, "put a fresh spin on the iconic dating show and is set to film in a glamorous Mediterranean beach location next summer".

It will be made by Twenty Twenty productions, the company behind First Dates.

Announcing the spin-off, Channel 4 said: "The commissioning news follows the success of last year's First Dates 10th-anniversary series, which achieved the highest streaming numbers the show has ever seen.

"First Dates Beach Club will bring together singletons looking for love in a picturesque beachside setting, where the idyllic views and relaxed holiday vibes promise the perfect backdrop for discovering new romance.

"Fred Sirieix and Merlin Griffiths will return to take part in the ultimate summer of love, and alongside the First Dates team will witness sparks of chemistry and the unpredictable surprises that come with finding the one."
