LOVE TRIANGLE: E4 TO LAUNCH NEW DATING FORMAT
E4 are to launch new dating series Love Triangle this Autumn. The series is reportedly inspired by the rise in three-person relationships, aka throuples.
Love Triangle (10x60’), produced by Workerbee (a Banijay UK company), follows the singles as they spend 48 hours getting to know their two matches via text only. In its efforts to offer an antidote to the worst aspects of modern dating, this experience demands that the singles make their decision without setting eyes on their suitors; no pictures or selfies allowed.
After just two days of trying to build a connection, they must make the potentially life-changing choice between their two matches, before they meet them on a blind date. Just 24 hours later, the picker and their chosen match will take the extraordinary step of moving in together, to explore what their future might look like. But around the corner are a series of gripping plot-twists that neither the singles, nor their suitors, see coming.
Just as the new couples are settling into their love nests, the rejected love matches will make a shocking, surprise return; the “pickers” must meet their alternative option on a second blind date.
On this blind date, the new love interest will reveal they are also moving in to the shared house to form a love triangle. After the six singles have spent time dating and getting to know both their matches, all three will move in together to form a LOVE TRIANGLE.
At the end of the experience, each single must make a momentous, gut-wrenching decision as they have to choose which of their two matches to continue dating in pursuit of long-term love.
Over the course of the experience, as the six singles face this string of explosive twists, they’ll be forced to question themselves, their choices and everything they think they know about love. Will heads be turned? Will hearts be broken? And, when faced with their final dilemma, which of their two matches will they choose?
Channel 4 Commissioning Editor, Factual Entertainment, and Commissioning Editor for Married at First Sight UK, Lee McMurray said: “When it comes to romance, most of us have a type we want, who often disappoints; we fail to spot the match we need, who could make us truly happy. Love Triangle puts this modern dating dilemma front and centre, with a trademark E4 twist...
"I’m confident British audiences will be gripped by this radical rejection of our current looks-based, swipe right dating culture, as they share the joy, love, heartache and off-the-scale drama of the six brave singles taking part in this unique, distinctive quest for love.”
Ben Mitchell, Workerbee Creative Director, said: “In the superficial world of modern dating, it’s all too easy to swipe away matches who could have been the love of our lives, if only we’d given them a chance. In this explosive new format, we’re asking six singles to try a very different approach to finding ‘the one’. The results are surprising, emotional and dramatic. In Love Triangle, there are three sides to every story!”
Love Triangle was developed by the producers of Married at First Sight Australia, Endemol Shine Australia (a Banijay company) in conjunction with 9Network.
