Programme Overview
Description
Singletown is a stripped reality show with a unique starting point – it begins with an ending.
Five couples press pause on their relationships and spend one incredible summer of fun, living their best single lives - but when the experiment ends will they choose to get back together or stick to their newfound single life?
Our cameras follow the story of an indulgent summer of luxury - full of money-can’t-buy exclusive dates, out of this world parties and unforgettable experiences – it’s going to be their best single life. Guided through the experience by two celebrity mentors, they’ll partake in group activities like a makeover, incredible nights out in exclusive venues, or going on dates in the most romantic spots.
During their time apart they’ll live in two luxury apartments, which, to their surprise, are located in the same building, and at certain points they’ll be able to spy on their other half.
At the end of each week, the couples will meet to take apart in the Love Locket ceremony
- Will they choose to reunite and leave the show as a couple?
- Or will one of them or both choose to stay single and remain on the show?
The show was originally aired on UK's ITV2 and was picked up HBOmax, amongst others. To date, the format has been licensed and adapted by Discovery Networks in Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, and Norway, with TVBizz reporting the following:
