ENTERTAINMENT: ‘Love Island’ Producers Are Planning A New Dating Show For People In Their 40s And 50s

‘Love Island’ Producers Are Planning A New Dating Show For People In Their 40s And 50s. Lifted Entertainment – the studio behind the hugely popular ITV2 series – is reportedly looking to make a pilot for a fresh programme sending more mature romantics on a retreat where they will be “coupled up” by their own kids.

According to The Sun newspaper, the show has a working title ‘Your Mum, My Dad’ and is set to start filming later this year before hopefully airing in 2023.

An insider said: “Times change and the current generation in their 40s and 50s still care about how they look, are fit and healthy, into fashion and are ready to let their hair down.

“This show will give those who settled down young a second chance at love while they still feel in their prime.

“And, let’s face it, they know their minds, will be capable of intelligent conversation and are likely to be much more adventurous – all ingredients regular ‘Love Island’ sometimes lacks.”

‘Love Island’ Producers Are Planning A New Dating Show For People In Their 40s And 50s. Plans for a new show comes weeks after it was revealed ‘Love Island’ – which is hosted by Laura Whitmore – will return for two seasons in 2023.

As well as the regular summer series, the year will kick off with a special winter edition in January.

Paul Mortimer – Director of Reality Commissioning and Controller, ITV2 – said: “‘Love Island’ has once again proved itself to be the nation’s favourite talking point across the summer, and we’re always blown away by the show’s ongoing impact and talkability amongst our younger audience.

“So, rather than just serving up a Summer of Love, we thought we’d make 2023 the Year of Love with two full series of the show.”

The programme – which ranks as TV’s biggest show for 16-34 year olds – will return to South Africa for the first time since 2020’s winter edition in a brand new villa.

Mike Spencer – Executive Producer at Lifted Entertainment – added: “After eight brilliant series, we are excited to be serving up two helpings of love in 2023 by kicking off in January at a stunning new villa in South Africa.

“We can look forward to more romances, bromances and everything in between as we embark on another epic year of love.”
