Prime Video in Japan has ordered a local adaptation of CJ ENM’s reality dating series EXchange.

The Japanese edition, Love Transit, is set to premiere on Prime Video on June 15. The series puts ex-couples in a house together. It has been a hit for CJ ENM’s OTT service TVING over its two seasons in South Korea.

Jangho Seo, senior VP of the content business at CJ ENM, said, “We are confident that the EXchange format will capture the hearts of the Japanese viewers. While staying true to the essence of the original format, Love Transit well incorporates elements that will appeal to the local market. We feel that Korean entertainment shows are the next big trend. They are brought to a global audience through streaming platforms like Prime Video and expanding across the world through their remakes.”
