Amazon orders a British dating show set in an American high school from the past and UK rap musical drama Jungle

Variety

The untitled dating show "will see a cast of single Brits, including those from across the LGBTQ+ spectrum, try and find true love by going back to high school for a second time, entering the nostalgic world of ’80s, ’90s and ’00s American high school movies to complete a search for love," per Variety. “The idea of finding love in the melting pot of an American High School is a pop cultural cornerstone,” said Tim Harcourt, creative director for producer Studio Lambert. “Every romantic singleton would love a chance to relive a cinematic version of their school days knowing what they know now and more importantly who they are now. Maybe this time the Jock might fall for the Captain of the Chess Club and the Cheerleader might fall for the Maths Geek.” Meanwhile, Amazon says Jungle will "shine a light on the amazing creativity of the U.K.’s drill, grime and rap music scenes and hopefully empower a varied collection of British storytellers to create captivating content which reflects the diversity of the U.K. today."
