Overview

  • Twelve singles are matched after five‑minute speed dates, effectively marry, and are left on six remote beaches for three‑week honeymoons without phones or luxuries.
  • Episodes will run multiple nights each week with a Wednesday premiere followed by Thursday and Friday broadcasts.
  • McCall appears at the speed‑dating kickoff and returns in the closing episodes to support participants, describing the format as unscripted and character‑revealing.
  • Produced by the team behind Married at First Sight UK and created by Snowman Productions, the series blends dating and survival elements.
  • The BBC has published the full line‑up of 12 contestants with short biographies, and a “Couples Cove” meet‑up later in the process introduces fresh choices and tensions.
