Channel 4’s escapist hit A New Life in the Sun: Where Are They Now? closes out its latest batch of expat adventures this Monday, giving viewers a fresh look at how sun-soaked dreams fare against real-world challenges. Airing at 6 PM GMT, the episode revisits a handful of familiar faces from across Spain, France, and Italy, charting their progress—and setbacks—since we last saw them.
In Almería, Spain, boutique hotel owner Ellie is back, this time wrestling with the high-stakes expansion of her property. Meanwhile, in France’s Charente region, wedding venue owners Lauren and James face their busiest season yet—a test of both their business acumen and their relationship. And in Italy, Nicky’s pony trekking business takes on new meaning—and new difficulties—as she takes the reins solo following her father’s death.
The series has always thrived on its mix of aspiration and hard truths about starting over abroad. This episode keeps the balance right, offering a clear-eyed view of what it takes to build a life—and a business—from scratch in a foreign land. Expect moments of both celebration and struggle as these expats continue to chase their goals under Mediterranean skies.
A New Life in the Sun: Where Are They Now? airs Monday, June 9th at 6:00 PM GMT on Channel 4.
