Polsat is set to launch a new reality dating series based on the Danish format Small Town Big Love, targeting a spring 2027 broadcast. According to reports from Wirtualne Media, the production will feature four men from small towns who are established in their local communities but remain single. FremantleMedia Polska, the same production house behind the TVP1 hit Rolnik szuka żony, has been tapped to develop the project.
The Shift Toward Localized Dating Formats
The success of rural-focused dating shows has attracted millions of viewers. Rolnik szuka żony demonstrated that audiences are drawn to the stories of individuals searching for partners. By adapting Small Town Big Love, Polsat aims to capture a similar demographic by spotlighting men who possess professional and social standing in their smaller communities yet struggle to find a long-term partner.
Did you know?
This is not the first attempt to bring the Small Town Big Love format to Polish screens. In 2020, the station TTV announced casting for a project titled Przystanek miłość, which was ultimately never produced.
Production and Casting Dynamics
FremantleMedia Polska serves as the common denominator between the established TVP1 format and the upcoming Polsat series. The production company is currently preparing for the filming phase, though the process remains in the early stages. Interested participants—specifically women looking to connect with the featured men—will be able to apply through a dedicated online casting portal once the process officially opens.
Competition in the Reality TV Market
Polsat’s decision to move forward with this format places it in direct competition with TVP1’s Rolnik szuka żony.
