Red Sauce, part of the Zinc Media Group, has been recommissioned by Channel 5 to produce a new 80-episode series of the hit show Bargain Loving Brits in the Sun.
Filming for the 13th series is due to begin next month and production will continue into early FY25. This follows the excellent ratings of the current series, which is available on Channel 5 and on-demand.
This new BLB commission brings the overall Red Sauce programming slate to more than 350 hours since the label began production in 2021, the majority of which are part of high-volume series.
Red Sauce’s Creative Director Tom Edwards says: “Just as we deliver the final shows in last year’s 136-episode order, we’re overjoyed to be returning to the Costas for another bumper series. It’s been a real challenge to scale up what was a 6-part series into such high volume and I’m very proud we’ve done it so well. It’s fantastic also to be working with nearly 150 highly talented people to produce this perennially-loved series.”
The series was commissioned by Denise Seneviratne and Kate Ansell, Commissioning Editors at Channel 5.
Red Sauce’s Ninushka Oller-Stracey will serve as Showrunner, with Phil Niland as Series Editor Producer and Sam Haines as Line Producer. Tom Edwards, Creative Director at Red Sauce, will Executive Produce the series.
