Channel 4 Lifestyle has commissioned a new series from True North, A New Life In The Sun: Win a BnB, which is a 15-part extension of the beloved series, A New Life In The Sun. This captivating competition involves British couples competing for ownership of a B&B in France, providing a chance to transform their lives amidst picturesque settings.
Across two weeks, contestants will face a series of challenges designed to evaluate their hospitality, culinary, and business acumen. They will take on the real-life task of managing B&Bs with actual guests, embodying the elements of vibrant escapism and competitive tension that the series promises.
As the competition progresses, a set of rigorous evaluations await the participants. The couples’ endeavors are critiqued by their guests and assessed by an expert B&B inspector alongside a former contributor from A New Life In The Sun, who possesses firsthand insights into establishing a B&B in a foreign land. This intensifying scrutiny will narrow down the contestants to four finalists.
These successful teams will then enter the final week of competition. During this stage, each finalist will manage the prize B&B for a limited time, with the outcome determining who ultimately wins the keys to their new French venture.
The inception of A New Life In The Sun: Win a BnB aligns with Channel 4’s initiative to inject fresh ideas into daytime TV, aiming to discover a unique property format incorporating a competition element. As expressed by Jo Street of Channel 4, the reception to their call for submissions exceeded expectations, underscoring the high caliber of creative concepts from regional producers.
A New Life In The Sun: Win a BnB promises to capture viewers with its blend of competition, culture, and life-changing opportunities.
