The LGBTQ+ streaming service OUTtv is partnering with the BBC to co-commission a seventh season of the reality competition series Glow Up: Britain’s Next Make Up Star.

OUTtv previously boarded the show as the exclusive global SVOD rights holder, excluding the U.K. for season six. It has now stepped into the role of co-commissioner for the seventh installment of the series.

Produced by Wall to Wall Media, the 8×60-minute upcoming season will launch internationally on OUTtv, with the exception of the Nordics, where it will be available on OUTflix. Glow Up, which offers contestants career-making breaks in the make-up industry, is broadcast on BBC Three and iPlayer in the U.K.

Philip Webb, COO of OUTtv, said: “Glow Up is a series that we have admired for years, and co-commissioning the upcoming season feels like a natural progression for us following the successful rollout of season six earlier this year on our platform globally. We have audiences from the USA to New Zealand who love the series and the constant reinvention and creative inspiration makeup offers all genders. We have found such excellent partners in both the BBC and Wall to Wall and look forward to working closely with them as production starts.”

Melissa Brown, executive producer at Wall to Wall Media, added: “I’m thrilled to be joining forces with OUTtv to bring the next season of Glow Up to our loyal and global fanbase. OUTtv’s commitment to bold, diverse, and inclusive storytelling makes them the perfect partner for us, and I look forward to creating a standout season that resonates with audiences everywhere.”
