Save the Date Being Adapted for VOX

EndemolShine Germany, part of Banijay Germany, is producing a local version of Save the Date for VOX.

In the social-experiment format, singles tired of the dating world gain total control of their love lives by setting a wedding date—before they have even begun dating a partner. Each single has a short time to find their perfect match and plan the wedding.

Originally created by Endemol Shine Israel and first produced by Endemol Shine Finland, this marks the third iteration of the dating and relationship format, following the successful launch by Shine Iberia in Portugal earlier this month.

Fabian Tobias, managing director of EndemolShine Germany, said: “Save the Date perfectly meets the German audience’s desire for relationship shows. It is full of heart and extremely relevant for current audiences, as there is a lot of pressure to find ‘the one,’ and online dating has changed the landscape forever.”

Lucas Green, chief content officer, operations, said: “Save the Date taps into the ticking time bomb that for many people is the burning question of rushing into marriage. This creates brilliant drama as its protagonists race toward their big day, forced into the ultimate time-management dilemma. Part social experiment, part reality, part wedding blockbuster, anyone can connect with this hot new format. Born out of creative collaboration between Endemol Shine Israel and Endemol Shine Finland, it’s great to see it entering its third European market.”
