Channel 4 orders a new docuseries following a group of young Brits as they head off for a summer holiday in the Med.

Channel 4 has commissioned a new docuseries following a group of young Brits as they take a summer holiday to the Greek island of Zante.

Once Upon A Time In Zante will document the youngsters' classic rite of passage in a post-lockdown environment as social distancing measures loosen and the Mediterranean tourism industry starts to open up again.

Greece is currently on the government's amber 'do not travel' list, although from next Monday fully-vaccinated adults will be permitted to visit amber list countries without the need for quarantine on return to the UK.

Anna Miralis, senior commissioning editor of factual at C4, said: "With the world slowly opening up, Once Upon a Time In Zante will give a unique view of young people as they find their feet and try to get to grips with their 'new normal'.

"Having missed out on so much over the past year or so, it will be great to see how their attitudes towards this rite of passage holiday might have changed, or will they simply be out in the Med desperate for sun, sea and normality."

The six-part series is expected to air on Channel 4 later this year.
