Synopsis:
Every summer, the shores of Bulgaria’s Sunny Beach – Europe’s cheapest holiday resort – are packed with young tourists wanting to live their best lives on trips they’ll never forget. But in a town where drink, drugs and sex are never in short supply, summer can bring a whole heap of trouble for those who live and work there.
In this fast-paced and entertaining new documentary series, we discover a fresh perspective on hedonistic tourism – by viewing the season through the all-knowing eyes of the Bulgarian emergency services and frontline workers.
We follow the police, firefighters, medics, lifeguards and bouncers as they attempt to keep Sunny Beach’s thriving party scene going, while making sure no one comes to harm. What are these unpredictable, 24/7 jobs in this party-fuelled resort like, when then partying is just a bit too hard?
Across six episodes, featuring a returning cast of local characters, we dive deep into the mayhem. Each episode features multiple narratives, switching between the tourists hellbent on partying hard and the locals on hand to clear up the mess. With stunning drone shots and stylised packaging, ‘Emergency on Sunny Beach’ delivers a dynamic, fresh new take on the world of party holidays.
