When ‘Married At First Sight’ Collides Head First With ‘Survivor’, The Result Is ‘Stranded On Honeymoon Island’
The show is 'Married at First Sight' meets 'Survivor' and, with a recent BBC sale, should make a splash in Cannes this year.
As MIPCOM kicks off, we shine a spotlight this week on a Married at First Sight versus Survivor hybrid in Stranded on Honeymoon Island, which was birthed in Denmark but landed first in Belgium before setting sail around the world. Notably, amid a risk-averse pandemic-impacted formats landscape, Snowman landed its first greenlight not in its native Denmark but in Belgium, with local network VTM taking the gamble before U.S. streamer Max bought it in its home nation further down the line. MAFS seller Seven.One (formerly Red Arrow) has been distributing the show for around 18 months and MD Tim Gerhartz says VTM “deserves a lot of credit” for commissioning something that involves travel to far flung places and went against what networks were ordering at the time.
