You read it first! ITV Studios confirms Polish My Mum, Your Dad
As CEETV reported first back in September last year, ITV Studios’ hit dating format My Mum, Your Dad is set to debut with a local version in Poland on Polsat.
The distributor also announced today that the format has been sold to TVA in French Canada. The expansion into these new territories underlines the continued global success of the second chance dating show, originally created by father-daughter duo Greg Daniels and Haley Daniels with ITV America's ITV Entertainment for HBO Max, the distributor said. In Poland, the show will be titled Moja mama i twój tata (My Mum and Your Dad; the working title of the adaptation was previously Good Time for Love) and produced by Jake Vision for Polsat. The UK version of the critically acclaimed romance show is set to return on ITV1 and ITVX for a second season later this year. Dubbed ‘heartwarming’, ‘hilarious’ and with ‘cross-generational appeal’ by critics, the debut series was ITV’s biggest new peak-time entertainment format and attracted an average audience of more than two million viewers on all devices. Fronted by Davina McCall, the first series regularly trended as the number-one streamed program on ITVX, produced by Lifted Entertainment, part of ITV Studios. In addition to its success in the US and the UK, My Mum, Your Dad has continued to captivate global audiences. Australia celebrated a successful second season on the Nine Australia in December, while Sweden embraced the show on TV4. New Zealand viewers tuned in on Three, and the format also won hearts in France on TF1 and in Germany on Vox. Ruth Berry, Managing Director of Global Partnerships at ITV Studios, said: “The amazing global response to My Mum, Your Dad is a testament to its unique blend of heart and humor. It’s a joy to see the format resonate across different countries, and we’re excited to bring it to Poland and French Canada. The show's cross-generational appeal and genuine moments of love and connection make it a standout in the dating show genre. We can’t wait to see how audiences embrace it.” RELATED
