"Love Van"
Media Ranch has sold Gen-Z and millennial dating show format, "Love Van" to Renegade Pictures (a Warner Bros. International Television Company) in the U.K., and options were picked up from Media Ranch’s exclusive DR (Danish Broadcasting) format portfolio for: "The Artist Colony" picked up by Blazhoffski Productions in The Netherlands and by STV Productions in Sweden and Norway. The original format was created and produced by Eddy Media for DR2. "Match Made in Heaven" was picked up in Sweden by Strix Television and "180 Days" is picked up by Magis TV (in partnership with Eldorado TV) in Germany.
Sophie Ferron, President and Founder of Media Ranch stated: “Media Ranch is thrilled to close our successful year with the option of one of our original Horsepower formats to Renegade in the U.K. and several DR formats optioned in Sweden, Norway, Germany, and The Netherlands. The year ahead is looking to be our best yet after boosting our presence exponentially in the USA and co-creating original formats with new partners around the world.”
"Love Van", the third season winning format from Media Ranch’s Format Horsepower incubator, was recently named at MIPCOM as one of The Wit’s Fresh Picks. The Gen-Z and millennial dating show follows singles as they find love on a cross-country rally in their livable vans.
"Match Made in Heaven" is a fun dating show in which couples will date their astrological match without them knowing it’s the stars that put them together. "The Artist Colony" has some of the country's most acclaimed visual artists living together for two weeks, establishing an artists’ colony in one of the country’s most iconic places where they will create new works inspired upon their stay; and "180 Days" is a social experiment paring two unlikely genres (i.e. senior citizens and university students) or backgrounds who live together for 180 days and possibly change each other’s lives.
Christian Vorting, Founder & Producer of Eddy Media added, “I am very excited that after our two successful seasons, and a 3rd on the way, of 'The Artist Colony' in Denmark on DR2, other countries now also realize the beauty of this amazing and inspiring reality show which goes at a slower more thoughtful pace than other programs. It is sure to be an audience favorite in Norway, Sweden and The Netherlands.”
