First Dates Beach Club, which launched on Channel 4 in the U.K. at the end of last year, has scored its first remake, with Warner Bros. International Television Production Netherlands producing with BNNVARA.
The Warner Bros. International Television Production format is an extension of First Dates, which has run for 16 seasons in the Netherlands. Filming will begin in the autumn for broadcast on NPO Start in 2027.
Andrew Zein, EVP for creative format development and sales at WBITVP, said: “First Dates remains both a must-watch dating show and a much-loved fixture not only on Dutch television but with viewers around the world. We’ve enjoyed a fantastic partnership with BNNVARA over many years and are now incredibly excited that Warner Bros. International Television Production Netherlands will expand the franchise with First Dates Beach Club. This warm-hearted series will bring viewers a fresh and uplifting new take on the format that we believe will delight loyal fans while welcoming entirely new audiences into the brand.”
