MONTREAL: The classic ’90s dating show Coup de Foudre<\/em> is being remade for Canadian channel V in Quebec.<\/p>\n

A new 50×30-minute version is being produced by Canadian TV presenter \u00c9ric Salvail\u2019s production company, Salvail & Co. The new version will retain its core format, which features unseen single men and women quizzing each other to find their ideal love match. It will also introduce modern elements of dating, including social media. The show will also feature new segments and special interest-themed contestant rounds in which, for example, joggers, seniors and \u2018cougars\u2019 will aim to meet their dream partner based on answers and personality alone.<\/p>\n

Ren\u00e9 Ferron of Ferron International originally created Coup De Foudre<\/em>, and the deal sees Media Ranch\u2019s president, Sophie Ferron, distributing her father\u2019s original format.<\/p>\n

Sophie Ferron commented: “Right now there\u2019s a real trend of classic formats coming back. Having worked on the original Coup de Foudre<\/em>\u00a0I\u2019m naturally delighted to see it return. We\u2019ve had a number of approaches over the years to reboot the show, but it wasn\u2019t until recently that we have found the right partner to breathe new life into it. We think Eric\u2019s team is the perfect fit.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
