First Dates spin-off confirmed with a Mediterranean twist – here’s how to apply

As stated in the announcement, the upcoming series aims to unite singles seeking love in a scenic coastal environment. The stunning landscapes and laid-back vacation atmosphere are expected to create an ideal setting for unearthing fresh romantic connections.

The well-known pair, Fred Sirieix and Merlin Griffiths, are set to reunite in their roles as Maître’d and bartender for another series. Channel 4 has dubbed this season “the pinnacle of summer romance,” with the program promising to offer the touching and entertaining moments that have made First Dates a favorite UK dating show, all while infusing a vibrant holiday ambiance and introducing some exciting new format tweaks.

Regarding the show, Rita Daniels, Channel 4’s Commissioning Editor, stated that the combination of sun, sea, and a fresh idea will make it incredibly appealing and exciting.

I’m really looking forward to enjoying the beachside shenanigans of our eager daters. With the expert guidance of our outstanding First Dates crew, I believe we’ll get a front-row seat to witness our freshly minted couples experiencing romance and watching a breathtaking Mediterranean sunset.

If you enjoy the program and are considering participating yourself, Channel 4 encourages potential candidates to reach out to the casting team via the email address FirstDatesBeachClubCasting@twentytwenty.tv. More information about the process will be shared later on.
