MTV is hitting the shores of Hawaii with the greenlight of a new
U.S. version of the global youth brand’s international phenomenon
“Ex On The Beach.” The news comes as the network closes 9
consecutive months of primetime growth and ranks as the fastest
growing top 40 cable entertainment network.
Multi-Platinum rapper and actor Romeo is set to host the social
experiment that features 10 romantically embattled reality stars
from “The Bachelorette,” “Big Brother,” “Bachelor in Paradise,”
“The Challenge,” “Vanderpump Rules,” “Are You The One?” and “Bad
Girls Club” alongside everyday singles who show up for what they
think is a run-of-the-mill love and dating show in paradise, only
to be completely blindsided by their exes (in some cases multiple)
face-to-face. A complicated web of hookups, deceit, revenge and
drama unfolds against the sultry backdrop as couples decide if
their love can be reignited, or if the flame of romance is gone for
good. Meet the cast Thursday, April 12th at 10 p.m. ET/PT during
the launch special in advance of the 10, one-hour episode series
debut on Thursday, April 19th at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT. The U.S. series
will also air across MTV’s channels internationally.
Meet the cast here.
The US series is the 11th local adaptation of the hit format and
marks the first time that an MTV International-originated format
has been localized by MTV in the US. The eighth season of the
original hit ‘Ex On The Beach,’ which airs across MTV
internationally, begins premiering on March 20th. Local versions
have also been produced for MTV Brazil and MTV Netherlands (two
seasons each), and MTV Poland, which has aired three seasons.
Outside of the MTV family, the format has been licensed and
subsequently produced in seven additional territories including
Denmark, Finland, France, Hungary, Norway, Russia and Sweden. In
total, there are now 12 versions of “Ex on the Beach” around the
world.

Producers. Matt Anderson and Nate Green serve as Executive
Producers with Cooper Green as Co-Executive Producer for Purveyors
