Amazon Prime’s UK division has ordered an immersive reality dating format from The Circle and Undercover Boss producer Studio Lambert.

The streamer has picked up the eight-part untitled series from the All3Media-owned producer. It has come out of its UK division and was announced by Amazon’s Director of European Originals Georgia Brown at the virtual Edinburgh International TV Festival.

The show will see a group of unlucky-in-love Brits attempt to find love by going back to school – or more precisely an American high school out of a classic movie. The world will reflect a 1980s-2000s setting, with the diverse contestant line-up including an array of LGBTQ+ participants.

Studio Lambert’s creative chief Tim Harcourt, who exec produces, said “the idea of finding love in the melting pot of a American High School is a pop culture cornerstone,” adding that the show would provide “a chance to relieve a cinematic version” of the singletons’ school days.

Studio Lambert is first British producer to land a reality entertainment format for Amazon.
