One Born Every Minute, the fixed-rig ob doc that ran on Channel 4 from 2010 to 2018, is being resurrected by Banijay UK’s Dragonfly TV for E4, with Banijay Rights handling international distribution.
The 12-episode series, being filmed later this year, explores the journey of childbirth. “Nearly 10 years on, we feel very privileged to once again follow the journey that parents embark on as they welcome their babies to the world,” said Vivienne Molokwu, senior commissioning editor, reality and entertainment, and commissioning lead for E4. “We know the roller coaster of emotions that this period brings is something that will really resonate with the E4 audience, and we cannot wait for our viewers to see how the digital age has reshaped how families navigate this stage of life.”
Will Rowson, co-creative director at Dragonfly TV, added: “There’s such affection for One Born Every Minute, and we’re thrilled to return to it. In the years it’s been away, so much around pregnancy and maternity care has changed, making this an exciting moment to reimagine the show for an E4 audience.”
