The Sex Inspectors is part of HBO’s late-night ‘Real Sex’ series. The programme originally debuted on the UK’s Channel 4 and proved an instant success with soaring ratings among the key demographic (adults aged 18-34), and a second series of The Sex Inspectors launched in July.
In addition, a highly anticipated book following the series, ‘The Sex Inspectors Masterclass: How To Have An Amazing Sex Life’, debuted in the UK in August of this year.
“With HBO’s loyal audience and traditional late night programming, The Sex Inspectors was a perfect fit for the network,” said Ellender. “Fremantle International Distribution’s access to a wide breadth of productions in a variety of genres allows us to provide our partners with the ideal content to complement any of their existing programming.”
With expert help, The Sex Inspectors looks under the bedsheets to help couples with their sexual problems and frustrations. In each episode a couple will be intimately observed by 'sexperts' Tracey Cox and Michael Alvear, as they look for some practical advice on how to spice up their love lives.
Broadcasters in the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Portugal, Denmark and New Zealand have already snapped up the bold and innovative series that is designed to improve people’s sex lives.
