E4 has commissioned a new six-part documentary series following the emergency services working at the notorious party destination Sunny Beach.

Particularly popular with young UK tourists, the Bulgarian resort welcomes more than half a million revellers over the summer season.

Emergency on Sunny Beach promises to offer "a fresh perspective on party tourism" through the eyes of the police, medical and fire services who work 24/7 to keep the resort as safe as possible.

Mel Bezalel, commissioning editor at C4, said: "For decades, TV series have depicted young Brits in bars and clubs the world over, but this is the first series to adopt a different perspective on our adventures abroad.

"By asking local emergency workers to reveal their dealings with young Brits, we're seeing ourselves through a different lens – how we party, how we graft and how we behave with our friends when we're far from home.

"With unique insights from these hard-working frontline workers, this series will be funny, incisive and bring some surprising anthropology to E4 and All 4."

The show will air on E4 in 2023.
