It sounds like an idea somebody had with a big whiteboard of current TV ideas, but Stranded on Honeymoon Island is a new show from Denmark that is about to anounce a number of territory deals.

Is Australia on the shopping list?

The series is reportedly the centrepiece of distributor Red Arrow’s MIP TV offering to international buyers.

“Imagine Married at First Sight but add in a desert island and the challenge of surviving against the elements and you start getting the idea,” Deadline suggests.

Created by Denmark’s Snowman Productions and produced by PIT, Stranded on Honeymoon Island takes four couples who are put together by experts a la Married at First Sight. Immediately after committing themselves to each other in an intimate ceremony, they are dramatically abandoned on their own deserted tropical islands for the adventure of a lifetime, and it is on these remote beaches that fledgling relationships are soon to be put to the test.

If Seven and 10 are looking for new dating twists, this could be on their short list at MIP TV in France.

Hey, why not strip it across multiple nights, while we’re at it?

  1. Suspect Nine most likely to snap it up and launch it as a spin-off under the MAFS brand to dominate ratings later in the year too.

    These hot new formats though can’t really make such claims until they go to air – we saw Million Dollar Island sold around the world last years off the back of pre-series hype and then absolutely flop in the countries where it has aired, and be axed before the first series in the US (and UK I think).

    1. I could also see Nine picking up this format to make it a MAFS spinoff to capitalize on MAFS’ success. However, Nine would need to weigh the risk of diluting the original MAFS brand and giving viewers too much of one brand (yes, even with MAFS, there can be too much of a good thing).

  2. I would criticize this show until the cows come home… but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be able to pull myself away from watching this complete trash if it ever came to Australia!

  3. Just the picture of the poor guy says it all for me regarding another reality show looking for love with the usual twist to rope viewers in. …..they can remain stranded for as long as they like in my opinion, the longer the better because I won’t be watching…. What next? 🥱

    1. But only if Seven schedules it when MAFS isn’t on. Otherwise, the two formats would divide the MAFS audience and lead to lower results for both networks.
