The four-part series tells the stories of people who are curious to find out how life panned out for their first great love. These long-lost loves are reunited and come face to face after years apart. Adapted from a Motive Television production, <em>First Love<\/em> is set to be aired in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>BBC Studios inked a deal with the Norwegian public broadcaster NRK to license the format for <em>Phone Dater<\/em>. The 20-part series, originally from Kalel Productions, will be adapted locally by Banijay and will air on the P3 channel in Norway. <em>Phone Dater<\/em> features blind dates that see the couples swap phones during the date\u2014with full access to each other\u2019s messages, pics, apps and more. The agreement for <em>Phone Dater<\/em> in Norway follows the format\u2019s international debut in Japan at the end of March this year. The series aired on Japanese public broadcaster NHK.<\/p>\n<p>Andr\u00e9 Renaud, BBC Studios\u2019 senior VP of global format sales, said: \u201cThe quest to find a perfect match is something that audiences across all ages can relate to, and it is no surprise that dating formats are achieving record viewing figures as we all strive for real human connections in the current conditions. I know that <em>Fant\u00e1stico<\/em> viewers will be inspired by the couples in <em>First Love<\/em> as they look back on their earliest relationships, while viewers in Norway and Japan will probably be thinking a bit more about the content of their mobile phones as they watch others navigate potential new loves in the modern world through <em>Phone Dater<\/em>\u2019s fun blind-date experience.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BBC Studios has secured its first international format license agreement for First Love as well as a pair of licensing deals for the dating format Phone Dater.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":8172,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1337,2232,2233],"class_list":["post-8171","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bbc-studios","tag-first-love","tag-phone-dater","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>First Love &amp; Phone Dater Land in New Markets - TVFORMATS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/first-love-phone-dater-land-in-new-markets\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"First Love &amp; Phone Dater Land in New Markets - TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"BBC Studios has secured its first international format license agreement for First Love as well as a pair of licensing deals for the dating format Phone Dater.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/first-love-phone-dater-land-in-new-markets\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-04-15T14:43:22+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-04-15T14:50:57+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/07\/First-Love-BBC-Studios-421.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"520\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"338\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/first-love-phone-dater-land-in-new-markets\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/first-love-phone-dater-land-in-new-markets\/\",\"name\":\"First Love &amp; Phone Dater Land in New Markets - TVFORMATS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2021-04-15T14:43:22+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-04-15T14:50:57+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/first-love-phone-dater-land-in-new-markets\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/first-love-phone-dater-land-in-new-markets\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/first-love-phone-dater-land-in-new-markets\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"First Love &amp; Phone Dater Land in New Markets\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\",\"name\":\"TVFORMATS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
