HBO Max imports ‘FBoy Island’ with quartet of European commissions

Fboy Island

Warner Bros. Discovery’s HBO Max is bringing FBoy Island to four markets across Europe.

The show will be produced in Denmark, Spain, Sweden and the Netherlands, with 10 x 60-minute series being produced by Warner Bros. International Television Production (WBITVP) in each territory.

FBOY Island was created by Elan Gale (The Bachelor) and follows three women who move to a tropical island where they’re joined by 24 men – 12 self-proclaimed “Nice Guys” looking for love, and 12 self-proclaimed “FBoys,” there to compete for cold, hard cash.

The women navigate the dating pool together with the hope of finding a lasting love connection.

Annelies Sitvast, who heads up HBO Max originals in EMEA, said: “FBOY Island comes to Europe with fantastic credentials having been a huge success in the US on HBO Max.

“What it also comes with is a fresh take on the dating series format; it’s funny, self-aware and puts women front of centre of the decision-making process.”

FBoy Island producer STX Entertainment was acquired earlier this week by private equity firm Najafi Companies for $173m.
