ITV2 has announced that it has commissioned a brand new dating show called The Cabins, following the announcement that this summer’s Love Island was cancelled.
The highly popular dating show was forced to cancel this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, but the new reality show will give Love Island fans something new to look forward to.
The Cabins will see singles “throwing out the rule book and deleting their dating apps” as they move in together in log cabins, “complete with simmering hot tubs and set in beautiful surroundings within the UK”.
“Nestled together in their intimate cabins, the singletons will have quality time to really get to know their date,” the broadcaster teased.
“From heartfelt moments or declarations of love, to awkward silences and difficult dating conversations, viewers will be able to follow all the antics and find out if the sparks fly or quickly fizzle out.”
The show is based on the ITV Studios format Let Love Rule – which is a big hit in the Netherlands.
Paul Mortimer, ITV’s Head of Digital Channels and Acquisitions said: “This is a fantastic new format which challenges young people to delete the apps and attempt to date face-to-face, with no distractions.
“We’re thrilled to be bringing this show to ITV2 viewers who will have front row seats, eavesdropping on our couples as they attempt to find true love.”
While a premiere date has not yet been announced, applications for the show are open – with ITV taking applications via email at [email protected].
