NEW YORK: Cast members of the new Sky Living reality show The Hunks, distributed by Beyond Distribution, along with the show’s executive producer, David Notman-Watt, talk about the casting process, the show’s international appeal and what it’s like having your every move captured on film.
The scantily clad muscular men of The Hunks caused quite a stir in Cannes last month while promoting their new reality show, which recently launched on Sky Living HD. The series spotlights ten physically fit young men who spend a summer together living in a penthouse in Cornwall, England. Cameras follow the guys constantly, revealing how men really behave and what they think about women, love, marriage, sex, fatherhood and more.
The 6×1-hour show comes from Back2Back Productions, created out of an idea to "get some skin on our screens again," says Notman-Watt, managing director of Back2Back. The series scored a commission from Sky Living and quickly caught the eye of Beyond Distribution, which launched the show for the international market at MIPTV.
