Channel 4 & Seven Network Commission Made in Bondi

Channel 4 has co-commissioned Made in Bondi (w.t.), a new version of the award-winning reality series Made in Chelsea, with Australian broadcaster Seven Network.

Made in Bondi will follow the lives and loves of Sydney’s young, social elite. The show is set in one of Sydney’s most exclusive neighborhoods, where opulence knows no bounds and drama is always on the menu.

The new series will air on E4 in the U.K. and on Channel 7 in Australia. Made in Bondi will be co-produced by Universal International Studios’ labels Matchbox Pictures and Monkey. The format is distributed globally by NBCUniversal Formats, which is also part of Universal International Studios. NBCUniversal Global Distribution will handle international sales of the new series.

In the meantime, Made in Chelsea: Sydney is coming this December to E4 and Channel 4.

Karl Warner, head of youth and digital at Channel 4, said: “I’m thrilled to see Made in growing into a global franchise. Made in Chelsea has been the jewel in E4’s crown for over ten years and has become one of the most important digital brands in the Channel 4 portfolio, loved by our audiences across a range of platforms. We’re delighted to be partnering with Seven and working with new friends, Matchbox, and old (but fabulous) friends, Monkey.”
