UK pubcaster Channel 4’s digital-first brand Channel 4.0 has commissioned a youth-skewing series from Sony-backed Stellify Media in Northern Ireland and Acclaimed Content in England.

Get in the Van (6×20′) will see two teams compete to find three extraordinary strangers of diverse looks, shapes, sizes and behaviours, and get them to travel around with them in a van.

Filming has taken place in the south of England in Wembley, Watford, Chelmsford, Tottenham, Brighton and Hackney.

The series is presented by Spuddz and America Foster. Teams consist of YouTubers and influencers including Stevo The Madman, Johnny Carey, Darkest Man, Bash the Entertainer, Madame Joyce, Sharky, Harriet Rose and 90s Baby.

The teams will use their social media skills, viral marketing, targeted searches, speculation, and good old-fashioned in-person charm to find the best examples of people in categories such as the person with the shortest dog, the person with the most tattoos, the person with the longest dreads and the person who looks most like Ed Sheeran.

The show has been commissioned by Joe Churchill, digital commissioning editor at Channel 4. It is executive produced for Belfast-based Stellify Media by Tracie O’Neill and for Birmingham-based Acclaimed Content by Anton Inwood and Ché Chumber.

Channel 4.0 launched in late October as a new content destination for playful social formats rooted in youth culture and aimed at 13- to 24-year-olds.
