In a move that it says has it ‘bursting with baby joy’ Australia’s Network 10 has commissioned Endemol Shine Australia-produced factual series One Born Every Minute to the its family.

Described as a ‘tender and emotional’ series, the programme is set in a bustling maternity ward, capturing, in the words of Endemol, the fear, love and joy that comes with welcoming new life into the world. From the reception desk to the operating theatre, remotely-operated cameras capture the situations that happen every day in a maternity unit.

Created by Dragonfly, part of Endemol Shine UK, the documentary series has now been adapted in 10 markets including France, Denmark, Czech Republic and Israel. The Australian version will be made by Endemol Shine Australia and distributed globally by Endemol Shine International.

“We have seen our audiences really embrace and enjoy an insight into the world of genuinely amazing Australians including paramedics and life-guards,” said Network 10 chief content officer Beverley McGarvey. “Having the opportunity to now get close to the incredible and dedicated teams who help us through childbirth is not only thrilling but is a real privilege and a series we believe will be very special.”

Endemol Shine Australia CEO Carl Fennessy, added: “One Born Every Minute is one of the world’s most dramatic, emotional and breath taking factual series. We are incredibly proud to bring this BAFTA Award winning format to Australian audiences in 2019.”

One Born Every Minute will commence production in Sydney in the coming months and One Born Every Minute UK will premiere on Saturday 2 March.
