Sky Italia’s TV8 is going to premiere the brand-new version of the Canadian format "Love Bugs" on November 24, in a daily Monday to Friday 7:30 pm time slot.
Produced by Blu Yazmine and starring Brenda Lodigiani and Michele Rosiello, the new version of "Love Bugs", is a timeless sitcom format designed to tell with irony and authenticity the dynamics of today's couples.
Created in 1997 by Guy A. Lepage and produced and distributed by Avanti Groupe, "Love Bugs" is the most adapted scripted format in international TV history, with recent adaptations in France, Hungary, Czech Republic and Albania.
Arabelle Pouliot-Di Crescenzo, Head of International Format Distribution for Avanti Groupe said: “I have been working in format distribution for over 25 years and no scripted format comes close to the international success of 'Love Bugs'. With 39 adaptations, it is still the most adapted scripted format in TV history. We are thrilled by this latest adaptation in Italy.”
After conquering millions of viewers in Italy in the early 2000s, the "Love Bugs" format returns to a very different social context, in which smartphones, social networks and series to be watched together or in secret are rampant, but the "bugs" of love always remain the same: jealousies, misunderstandings, quarrels with mothers-in-law
