Are you ready to Win the Dream?

We're super excited to announce that we'll be adding an new title to the A New Life In The Sun brand.

A New Life In The Sun: Win the Dream is a new 15-part series for Channel 4 which sees British couples compete to win the keys to a B&B in France and the chance to change their lives forever.

Over two weeks of heats, competitors will be put to the ultimate test as they run French B&Bs for real guests, completing challenges that test their hospitality, culinary and business skills.

As the couples are whittled down, four make it to the final week where they’ll take it in turns to run the prize B&B that could be theirs by the end of the series – all while soaking up the sun and experiencing their potential new French lives.
