ITV Studios Scores Two Format Commissions

LONDON: SBS Belgium has commissioned two formats from ITV Studios Global Entertainment, Four Weddings and Come Dine with Me.

Production will begin soon on the first eight episodes of Four Weddings, slated to air this fall. The show follows four competing brides and their different nuptials. SBS also secured 52 new episodes of Come Dine with Me. SBS is currently airing the second season of the format, with its new installments to premiere in fall.

Andre Renaud, a sales executive at ITV Studios Global Entertainment, commented, “SBS Belgium’s clever adaptation of Come Dine with Me rightly continues to wow the Flemish audience. I am thrilled to be continuing our good relationship with them and I can’t wait to see SBS Belgium work the same magic on another strong ITV Studios format.”

Remy Blumenfeld, the director of formats at ITV Studios, added, "Four Weddings is relatable, instantly gettable and extremely fresh, which is why the format is already starting to prove itself around the world. We’re delighted that audiences in Belgium will not be deprived of this delicious treat for a moment longer."
