Format

A+E Networks has optioned the relationship-documentary format Marrying Millions to Seven Studios UK.

The new deal marks A+E Networks’ first collaboration with the recently launched U.K. production arm of Australia’s Seven West Media. It follows versions of A+E’s formats Bride & Prejudice and Seven Year Switch on the Seven Network in Australia.

Marrying Millions follows couples whose incomes are drastically different, with one member of the pair making significantly more than the other. Before the couples can fully commit to each other, they must immerse themselves in each other’s worlds. Whether it’s shopping sprees on their partner’s card, fancy parties or trips to humble hometowns, the couples have to try and survive the pressure of their two worlds colliding. They must survive the onslaught of their lover’s friends and family who think they’re just in it for the money.
