Channel 4 is reportedly planning a new reality TV series that will be based around “young professionals” who share a flat reports The Mirror.

The production company Studio Lambert who are collaborating with C4 on the show placed an advertisement on Gumtree for candidates saying in their ad, “Ideally we’re trying to capture career and relationship milestones that often happen to our target audience of late 20s/early 30s.

“They may be embarking on a whole new career – or at a crunch point in an existing one. Or they may be happy at work but thinking about the long-term and a relationship.”

The show was described as “a real-life Friends or This Life” while other commentators have compared it to the format of the successful The Family.
