Channel 4 Commissions True North For 'Great Escapers' Series
Channel 4 has commissioned a new 25-part series from production company True North.
The series, 'Great Escapers', will follow expats from the UK as they set up new lives across the world.
It will also follow a variety of businesses – from B & B's in France to bars and restaurants in Spain.
Speaking on the commission, Head of Daytime David Sayer said: "This is a fresh new programme which follows the lives of people after they've committed to moving abroad, joining them as they settle in to the challenges, the pitfalls and the benefits of a dramatic life change."
Executive Producer Jess Fowle added: "True North has real expertise following people through some of the most dramatic and pivotal moments in their lives. Our Great Escapers are giving us an intimate insight into what it means to give up everything to try and make their dreams come true and it's a privilege to go on that journey with them."
