ITV Studios Netherlands is producing a Dutch version for RTL to air on its online video platform, Videoland.

The show premiered on ViacomCBS-owned US cablenet Logo, giving 13 potential suitors a chance to steal the heart of an eligible bachelor.

ViacomCBS International Studios Distribution shops the format globally and had previously sealed a deal with RTL in Germany where a second season aired recently on its TVNow channel.

In the Netherlands, it will be titled Prince Charming and the 7×60’ episodes were filmed recently in Sicily. It will debut on Videoland on December 16.

“The growing international interest in Finding Prince Charming is proof that audiences are ready to embrace LGBT-led entertainment programming in all its forms,” said Laura Burrell, VP international formats at ViacomCBS International Studios Distribution.
