Story Productions provides Brazil crew for USA’s top-rated cable show this autumn

Catherine Balston • Oct 03, 2018

90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days is a ratings hit in the States and makes its debut on TLC Brasil.

TLC’s spin-off series 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days follows couples who start their relationship online before travelling abroad to finally meet each other face to face. Romance, heartbreak and foreign adventures: ingredients for a reality TV hit? Most certainly, with the season two premiere, on 5 August 2018, drawing in more than 2 million viewers and ranking TLC as the number one cable network on Sunday night in the USA.

Season two of the hit show follows the volatile romance between Paul and his Brazilian girlfriend Karine, from the northern state of Amazonas. They were just one of two couples whose story continued on into season two. The twists and turns in their relationship have made for gripping viewing, helping to keep the show’s ratings regularly above the 2 million mark this season, as the duo recover from a miscarriage, get married and then contemplate divorce after Paul accuses Karine’s brother of being a thief.

Viewers in Brazil are also getting hooked on the series as the first episodes from season one aired on TLC Brasil a week ago. Brazilian media–print, online and radio–have picked up the story, interviewing the stars and musing over the global spotlight that is currently shining on Karine’s tiny hometown of Tonantins.

Story Productions accompanied the duo and a crew from Sharp Entertainment, the show’s producers, to the heart of the Amazon Rainforest to film on location for season two. As with season one, filming in such a remote part of Brazil was no straightforward task. Read about the challenges of filming season one in our 90 Day Fiancé case study .
