Weekender brand to return to ITV2 for a seventh series
Twofour and Motion Content Group’s successful Weekender brand is set to return for a seventh scorching season on ITV2.
Ibiza Weekender yet again proved to be essential viewing as it grew its loyal fan base among the younger viewers throughout last year’s run. With the destination hotspot of Ibiza ever popular, an extended 10 x 60’ run on the White Isle will follow some familiar rep faces along with a few new ones eager to learn the ropes on Europe’s biggest party island.
With fixed rig cameras at the hotel, the series will capture all of the drama and reality as it unfolds. Expect high jinks, outrageous nights out and dramas around the clock.
Gyles Neville, Executive Producer, Twofour, said: “Weekender provides the ultimate escapism – the warm characters and hot holiday destinations never fail to be an explosive combination. We’re delighted the funny, continuing soap stories of the reps and their holiday charges continue to be relevant and compelling for the audience.”
Satmohan Panesar, ITV Commissioning Executive, said: “This series continues to grow and its increasing popularity among our young adult audience is a reflection of ITV2’s strategy to build strong programme brands that are talked about and well watched.”
Ibiza Weekender will be executive produced by Gyles Neville for Twofour and Melanie Darlaston for Motion Content Group. It was ordered by Head of Digital Channels Paul Mortimer and commissioned by Satmohan Panesar for ITV2. The series is set to air in 2018. (ITV)
