BBC Studios has landed the first international sale on the U.K. reality dating format The Honesty Box, with Telecinco on board for a version made by Brutal Media.
Brutal Media, part of the BBC Studios footprint, will produce the Spanish version of the format, which was created by Mettlemouse Entertainment and GroupM Motion Entertainment for Channel 4. Delivering a new take on the genre, it features an AI-powered, deception-seeking “Honesty Box” that probes contestants about their feelings.
“High-impact reality is a major priority for BBC Studios, and The Honesty Box is exactly the kind of bold, scalable format we’re focused on building globally,” said Matt Forde, president of BBC Studios Global Productions. “It’s a fresh take on modern relationships, and we’re delighted to see the format launching in Spain with Telecinco. We can’t wait to see how Spanish audiences respond as honesty is put to the ultimate test in the search for lasting love.”
The Honesty Box will be on offer at BBC Studios Showcase alongside other priority titles such as the brand-new Just One Thing and returning hits The 1% Club, Nation’s Dumbest, Weakest Link, Dancing With The Stars, and The Great Bake Off.
