Welcome to Global Breakouts, Deadline’s strand in which, each fortnight, we shine a spotlight on the TV shows and films killing it in their local territories.
The industry is as globalized as it’s ever been, but breakout hits are appearing in pockets of the world all the time and it can be hard to keep track.
So we’re going to do the hard work for you. As MIPCOM kicks off, we shine a spotlight this week on a Married at First Sight versus Survivor hybrid in Stranded on Honeymoon Island, which was birthed in Denmark but landed first in Belgium before setting sail around the world.
The series sees fledgling couples dropped on a remote island and left to fend for themselves. What’s not to like? The BBC and Channel 7, amongst others, clearly see the potential, and Stranded‘s sales team will be looking to make some noise in Cannes this week.
