Channel 4’s “A Place in the Sun: What Happened Next?” offers a refreshing twist on the usual property-hunting format. Instead of the initial search, this series revisits past participants, exploring whether their sun-kissed dreams turned into lasting realities or relocation regrets.
This Friday’s episode takes us to Spain and France, catching up with two couples who took the plunge and moved abroad. Presenter Jasmine Harman visits Janice and Steven, who relocated to Estepona on the Costa del Sol back in 2017 with a £150,000 budget. Did they find their dream Spanish retirement, and what changes have they made to their property since settling in?
Meanwhile, Sara Damergi checks in with Suzi and Andrew, who purchased a converted barn in France’s tranquil Charente region in 2021. After some negotiation, they secured the property within their £310,000 budget. But has the reality of rural French life lived up to their expectations?
Expect a blend of property updates, lifestyle insights, and a healthy dose of nostalgia as “A Place in the Sun: What Happened Next?” reveals the long-term outcomes of these international moves. The program airs Friday, March 21st at 6:00 PM on Channel 4.
