Although it doesn’t make much noise, ‘First Dates’ is one of the programs that gives Cuatro the best results. The dating program always manages to scratch off its bit of the share and, to take advantage of it, they are working on a new version in which we will see dates outside the restaurant.
second dates
According to TVienes, Warner Bros. ITVP Spain is working on a new version of the surreal dating show presented by Carlos Sobera. The novelty of this new program is that dates will leave the restaurant and move to the houses of singles.
Also, They will no longer be “first dates” but second dates: Contestants who were satisfied with their first meeting at the restaurant but haven’t seen each other since. The producer a pilot chapter has already been shot to present to Mediaset, which has yet to give it the go-ahead although it is interested in the project.
This “spin-off” would be the third season derived from the mother program, after ‘First Dates Café’ and ‘First Dates Cruise’, for those who also had Jesús Vázquez. At the time, the possibility of making a version in the hotel was studied but it was ruled out due to the discreet audience figures for ‘Café’ (cancelled with only one season) and the second season of ‘Crucero’.
Adaptation of the British reality show of the same name for Channel 4, it has been on the air since 2016, already accumulating 5 seasons and having exceeded 1,000 episodes.The format consists of making blind dates between strangers, who talk in a restaurant and in the end decide if they have been satisfied with the date or not.
‘First Dates’ is broadcast from Monday to Friday in access prime time (from 9:25 p.m. to 10:50 p.m.) on Cuatro.
