It'll follow the father and daughter duo as they run their own holiday park!
Danny Dyer has tackled a lot in his career, gangsters, geezers, even the Bard himself, but now he’s facing his biggest challenge yet... investing in and running a holiday caravan park with his daughter Dani by his side.
His journey will be followed for a brand-new six-part series for Sky Max, currently titled The Dyers' Caravan Park.
With childhood nostalgia in his heart and business ambition in his sights, Danny and Dani are diving headfirst into the £7 billion holiday park industry. They’ll stop at nothing in their quest to transform a caravan park into a place that lives up to Danny’s misty-eyed memories of the best holidays he’s ever had in his life.
But this venture is no knees-up at the Queen Vic. Danny will soon discover that running the park is a world away from the life of an A-list actor as he faces everything from dodgy plumbing to demanding punters, rogue acts to reinvigorating the restaurant menu. But will his new business partners, the park’s residents or even Dani be on board with his grand, nostalgic vision?
With an unforgettable cast of real-life characters, the new series promises to be a hilarious, heartwarming and occasionally chaotic trip into what really makes the Great British holiday so great.
Speaking ahead of the new series, Danny Dyer said "What you might not know about me is I love a caravan, and I love a caravan site. So, with my daughter Dani by my side, as the voice of reason, I'm taking charge of one. I’m chucking in a few quid, and will try and make the greatest of British holidays cool again. Now this could be a triumph; or a complete f***ing failure. But there's only one way to find out and that's to roll the f***ing dice."
"Clarkson’s got his Farm, Hammond’s got his workshop. If Jamie Oliver can save school dinners – why can’t I save the great British holiday?"
To which Dani Dyer added "My dad wants to get involved in the caravan park and I’m all in: I love a caravan, so why not? My dad is a very friendly person – he’s good at bringing everyone in - but has he got what it takes to make a success of this? I think he has, just so long as people don’t decide to go to Magaluf."
Produced by Expectation, The Dyers’ Caravan Park will be directed by Josh Jacobs, with Denise Kadoo as production executive and Jo Bucci as head of production and will be executive produced by Ben Wicks and Jordan Read and was developed by Dan Cripps, Amy Dallmeyer and Harry Forte.
Speaking about The Dyer' Caravan Park, Phil Edgar-Jones, Executive Director, Unscripted Originals at Sky, said "The Great British Holiday is about to get a turbo-charged makeover like never before as the Dyers’ Caravan Park prepares to open its gates. If anyone can make caravanning cool again it’s Danny and Dani, and we cannot wait to see them bring the fun."
To which Creative Director, Entertainment at Expectation, Ben Wicks added "We are thrilled about working with Danny and Dani Dyer as they try to save the Great British Summer holiday. Their passion for caravanning is unlimited, yet their experience of running a caravan park is extremely limited."
"Based on our extensive research, running a caravan park if you don’t know what you are doing is quite frankly, a nightmare. We feel this is the perfect setting for a series as rich in comedy, jeopardy, and warmth – even if the weather isn’t – and we’re delighted that Sky feel the same."
The Dyers' Caravan Park will air later this year on Sky Max
