Reality format 'Bad Boyfriends' from All3Media International launches its German version next week on streaming platform RTL+. Eight men are lured into participating in what they believe to be a party-filled "bro" reality show, only to be shocked by the arrival of their girlfriends, who have had enough of their bad behavior.

In a new strategic partnership, Tinder's reality dating franchise 'Double Date Island' will premiere its first full season on TikTok this summer. Pairs of best friends from around the world are brought together to go on double dates, meet other pairs, and explore new connections, all captured on camera.

Following ITV UK's commissioning of 'Holey Moley', the format will also be adapted in Germany for Prime Video and in France for TF1. In this extreme mini-golf competition from Fremantle, contestants face off against each other on massive holes with wild obstacles.
