Fred Sirieix, the French TV host known for fronting UK series First Dates and Remarkable Places To Eat, is launching his own production label, Canard, backed by All3Media-controlled Objective Media Group.
Canard’s first commission is Fred’s Last Resort (working title) for E4, an 8×60 series in which Sirieix will recruit 10 young people at a crossroads in their lives and throw them into a life changing, highly demanding role in the exacting world of luxury, high-end hotel hospitality.
This initial greenlight, a co-production with Betty TV, forms part of an exclusive partnership with Omg for unscripted formats which will see Canard co-produce with companies in the group.
Sirieix said, “I love TV and presenting. It’s a pleasure for me to work with talented people on so many great series. I am so grateful for the chance to develop my own ideas. It’s a dream come true to see them come to life.
