Fremantle announced the addition of a new dating format "Find Me Somebody To Love," created by Abot Hameiri and Reshet in Israel, to its slate.“Together with Abot Hameiri, we were able to develop and create new storytelling of searching for love on TV," Ami Glam, VP Head of Content, Reshet, said. "In a market of many dating shows we are confident that we have found a unique voice that can fit a broadcaster anywhere.”
The format launched on Reshet 13, quickly becoming the highest-rated show of the week for the channel. “This format is very different to ones we’ve seen before, it’s a very clever and unique approach to dating," Rob Clark, Director of Global Entertainment, Fremantle, said. "We are delighted with the ratings on Reshet and are confident that this format will go on to global success.”
Fremantle also contributed to other hit shows such as "Too Hot To Handle," "Take Me Out," which expanded to 35 territories, "Five Guys a Week," currently on season two in the UK, with adaptations soon to air in Sweden, France, Denmark, and Canada and "Farmer Wants a Wife" in 32 territories around the world.
The story consists of four single women put their lives and careers on hold, say goodbye to friends and family, delete their dating apps, and move into an apartment together for a month on a quest to find their true love. The ladies choose potential partners from a database that has been carefully put together by psychologists and dating experts. Experts analyze the relationship from a control room, as well as establish the challenges and dates for the couples over the three days to assist them in getting to know each other. At the end of the three days, the women decide whether they want their partners to stay for another three days or if they’d like to meet a new match. “‘Find Me Somebody To Love’ has a journey that every viewer can relate to and learn from. It’s a real experiment and a very honest and emotional format, and we are delighted with its brilliant launch on Reshet,” Guy Hameiri, CEO, Abot Hameiri said.
