BBC Three Announces New Commissions

BBC Three has announced Glow Up and Couples on the Couch, the first commissions to come from the channel's new editorial pillar.

Earlier this year, BBC Three received additional investment to expand its commissioning remit and announced that it was on the lookout for new contemporary takes on factual entertainment, formats and entertainment.

Damian Kavanagh, Controller BBC Three, said: "When we announced that we were extending the focus of our commissioning on BBC Three, we wanted ideas that could bring a new dimension to the channel. Couples on the Couch promises to be a hugely relatable series because it will tackle universal themes for young people in relationships and looks at the changing ways couples deal with different pressures. Whilst Glow Up taps into a hugely popular market and has a competitive element to it that will get our audience talking - we can’t wait to show them on BBC Three."
