Nudity is the twist that’s adding new life to reality formats this pitching season, especially when it comes to dating series.
Broadcast and cable programming executives have told TheWrap that they’re being flooded with pitches for naked dating shows, driven by the success of the hit series on Discovery, “Naked and Afraid.” One broadcast executive told TheWrap that he has already seen “a dozen naked dating pitches” cross his desk this year.
Most of the pitches seem to focus on a similar premise: In an exotic location, a man and a woman — both unclothed — size each other up and consider dating.
