Netflix U.K. is growing its stable of unscripted shows with a monster-sized dance competition, an awkward dating show that puts siblings in the hot seat and a reality series that sends a group of “snowflakes” into the wilderness to learn some home truths. The streamer has also set a winter debut for its reality hit “Too Hot to Handle.”
The streaming giant made the announcements at this week’s virtual Edinburgh TV Festival. On Monday, Anne Mensah, VP for original series, and Fiona Lamptey, director of U.K. features, discussed a “U.K. out” approach to local programming that prioritizes British subscribers but also looks for a global outlook. The strategy is abundantly clear in the programming that’s been announced, which is largely filming in the U.K. but seems to tap into universal themes.
