Dori Media Group is heading to MIPCOM with a dating format built for broadcasters still looking for the next unscripted romance hook. The company is launching New Love, a new relationship format from Abot Hameiri, the Fremantle-owned Israeli production company behind a string of exportable entertainment ideas.
The pitch is simple, sharp, and very market-friendly: four single women move into accelerated 72-hour live-in experiences with carefully matched strangers. No endless swiping. No vague texting phase. No safe distance behind a dating profile. Just a compressed relationship test designed to reveal chemistry, compatibility, and awkward truths quickly.
New Love Dating Format Heads to MIPCOM
New Love arrives at MIPCOM as international buyers continue to chase unscripted shows that can travel across territories. Dating formats remain especially attractive because they are familiar, flexible, and easy to localize, while still giving networks room to add cultural flavor.
For Dori Media, the timing makes sense. MIPCOM remains one of the key global TV markets where distributors, producers, broadcasters, and streamers shop for formats that can be adapted in multiple regions. A relationship concept with a clear structure and a built-in emotional engine gives buyers something easy to understand in the room and potentially easy to promote on air.
How the New Love TV Format Works
The show follows four single women as they enter 72-hour live-in setups with men selected for them. The format skips the slow-burn rituals of modern dating and instead drops participants into a short, intense environment where daily habits, personal boundaries, attraction, and trust are tested almost immediately.
That short time window is likely the format’s biggest selling point. A three-day relationship experiment creates natural tension without needing an overly complicated premise. Viewers can quickly invest in each pairing, debate the matches, and watch whether first impressions survive real-life proximity.
It also taps into a dating conversation many viewers know well: are apps helping people find love, or are they making romance feel more disposable? New Love appears to position itself as an antidote to swipe culture, replacing algorithmic browsing with face-to-face pressure.
Why Dori Media’s New Love Could Appeal to International Broadcasters
Dating television is crowded, but it is far from tired when the format has a clean twist. Buyers usually want concepts that can be explained in one sentence, cast locally, and scaled depending on budget. New Love checks several of those boxes.
The focus on women’s experiences gives the show a clear point of view, while the 72-hour structure offers a built-in countdown. That kind of format architecture is useful for broadcasters because it creates episode momentum and easy marketing language: three days, one stranger, a possible new relationship.
Abot Hameiri’s involvement also adds weight. As a Fremantle-owned company, it comes with international production and format experience behind it, while Dori Media’s role at MIPCOM puts the project directly in front of the buyers who could turn it into local versions across Europe, the U.S., the UK, and beyond.
