EXCLUSIVE: Peacock is developing a pilot for a raunchy social experiment format titled Sex in the Dark. Clarkson’s Farm producer Expectation is behind the pilot, which joins a number of Peacock shows on its unscripted development slate.
The pilot was filmed late last year, we understand. The show’s logline describes Sex in the Dark as a “radical new social experiment.” In Sex in the Dark, one single person is blindfolded or left completely in darkness as they embark on ‘intimacy tests’ to judge their connection, chemistry and attraction with a number of different suitors.
After each round, one suitor will be eliminated. The show culminates in a final night in complete darkness, as the singleton bed-hops with the remaining suitors to see if smell, touch, physical connection and energy is all you need to fall in love.
Amy Dallmeyer, Ben Wicks and Lucy Palmer are EPs on the series from Expectation, the UK indie run by Tim Hincks and Peter Fincham that includes Prime Video’s Clarkson’s Farm, BBC doc series House of Maxwell and Toby Jones-starring drama Danny Boy as past credits.
