What is 'Ex on the Beach' Season 5 all about?
After receiving a great response for its previous seasons, MTV renewed the show 'Ex on the Beach' for a fifth and sixth season. The show format remains the same, where 10 single people (who are former reality television stars) arrive at Gran Canaria Island of Spain for vacation looking for some romance. They hope to have a great summer, but what they do not expect is their exes to turn up. The ex will then either try to rekindle the relationship or get some good old-fashioned revenge. This show promises to unleash a whole lot of drama, romance and loads of fights.
The show's press release reads, "MTV's global phenomenon Ex on the Beach has been greenlit for two new seasons, with the dating show making its return on March 31 (and airing internationally in 180 countries beginning April 14). Personalities from Love Island, Big Brother, Too Hot To Handle, World of Dance, The Challenge, Double Shot at Love and Paradise Hotel will navigate old and new love while constantly being surprised by their exes face-to-face.
