Beauty and the Geek Australia Licensed to TVNZ

Banijay Rights has secured a deal with TVNZ in New Zealand for the seventh season of Beauty and the Geek Australia.

Produced by Endemol Shine Australia, Beauty and the Geek Australia sees ten modern beauties and ten unconventional geeks work together through a series of real-life challenges in the search to find a romantic spark or a lifelong friendship. The Australian version, which was rebooted by Nine Network for 2021, is hosted by actress, singer and model Sophie Monk.

The series will premiere on TVNZ 2 and TVNZ OnDemand later this year.

Lyle Bettson-Barker, senior VP for Australia and New Zealand at Banijay Rights, said: “As with all our key primetime Australian series, New Zealand is one of our most important markets where consumers really resonate—so it’s great to partner up with TVNZ to see this series bring warmth and laughter to our New Zealand friends as well.

“With the expertise of Endemol Shine Australia at the helm, I couldn’t be more excited to see this reboot take shape on our screens locally and internationally.”
