Format

Banijay has just announced that EndemolShine Germany, part of Banijay Germany, will produce Save The Date for VOX. This is the third iteration of the new dating and relationship format, following the successful launch by Shine Iberia in Portugal earlier this month.

In this extraordinary social experiment, 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. How they embark on the mission is up to them - will they choose frantic speed dating, or invest their precious time in one suitor? Only time will tell if this deadline will help these singles find the one.

Fabian Tobias, Managing Director EndemolShine Germany, adds: “Save The Date perfectly meets the German audiences 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 for ever.”

Lucas Green, Chief Content Officer, Operations at Banijay, says: “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 towards 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.”

Originally created by Endemol Shine Israel and first produced by Endemol Shine Finland for Nelonen, Save The Date recently aired in Portugal on TVI, produced by Shine Iberia, where it had stellar ratings with the series premiere the number one programme in its slot.
