Channel 4 has co-commissioned Made in Bondi (working title), a new version of the popular reality series Made in Chelsea with Australian broadcaster Seven Network.
Made in Bondi, will follow the lives and loves of Sydney’s young, social elite. Set in one of Sydney’s most exclusive neighbourhoods, opulence knows no bounds and drama is always on the menu, with every episode set to provide a front-row seat to parties, fashion and romances.
Karl Warner, Head of Youth and Digital at Channel 4 said: “I’m thrilled to see Made in growing into a global franchise. Made in Chelsea has been the jewel in E4’s crown for over 10 years and has become one of the most important digital brands in the C4 portfolio, loved by our audiences across a range of platforms. We’re delighted to be partnering with Seven and working with new friends, Matchbox and old (but fabulous) friends, Monkey.”
The new series will air on E4 in the UK and on Channel 7 in Australia.
Meanwhile, Chelsea socialites will be heading to Sydney for a special winter series of Made in Chelsea: Sydney – coming this December to E4 and Channel 4.
Made in Bondi will be co-produced by Universal International Studios’ labels Matchbox Pictures and Monkey for Seven Network and Channel 4. The format is distributed globally by NBCUniversal Formats, which is also part of Universal International Studios. NBCUniversal Global Distribution will handle international sales of the new series.
