C4 in UK & Australia’s Seven team to expand ‘Made In’ franchise with Bondi spin-off
UK broadcaster Channel 4 and Australia’s Seven Network have co-commissioned Made In Bondi (working title), a new version of reality series Made In Chelsea.
The new series will air on E4 in the UK and on Channel 7 in Australia and is co-produced by Universal International Studios’ labels Matchbox Pictures and Monkey. The format is distributed globally by NBCUniversal Formats, which is also part of Universal International Studios. NBCUniversal Global Distribution will handle international sales of the new series.
Made In Bondi will follow the lives and loves of Sydney’s young, social elite. Set in one of Sydney’s most exclusive neighbourhoods, opulence knows no bounds and drama is always on the menu, with every episode set to provide a front-row seat to jaw-dropping parties, breath taking fashion and sizzling romances.
Karl Warner, head of youth and digital at Channel 4 said: “I’m thrilled to see ‘Made in’ growing into a global franchise. Made In Chelsea has been the jewel in E4’s crown for over 10 years and has become one of the most important digital brands in the C4 portfolio, loved by our audiences across a range of platforms. We’re delighted to be partnering with Seven and working with new friends, Matchbox and old (but fabulous) friends, Monkey.”
