SevenOne Gets Second-Season Order for Love Bites

MUNICH: PULS 4 in Austria has ordered a second season of the SevenOne International dating series Love Bites.

Love Bites (Messer, Gabel, Herz) will air on the Austrian TV station PULS 4 daily at 7:45 p.m. The series features four male candidates who compete against each other using their culinary skills to win over one woman.

The 30-minute show will be produced by the Vienna production company Concorde Production. In Greece, the adaptation of the series was also successful on Antena 3.

"Our first run of Love Bites drew an audience share which was 1.5 higher than our ratings in that time slot,” said Oliver Svec, the programming director at PULS 4. “The online version is also very popular among our viewers. We couldn´t be more pleased. And this fall we’ll again be doing our share to help shrink the percentage of singles in Austria’s population."

Bodo Braun, the sales director for German-speaking territories and Turkey, added, “Love Bites was a major success in Austria right from the start. With 100 more episodes, PULS 4 will be able to establish the program as a strong brand in the Austrian TV market. I’m absolutely sure Austrian viewers will have a good time with the next season of Love Bites."
