Jessica Linnman, communications director at Discovery Networks, says that the reason for the 2021 season being canceled is "the debate in society".

- We do not think that is what the viewers want.

The debate highlights what is okay and what is not, and our feeling is that viewers do not think that this format is what is interesting to watch, she says to Kulturnyheterna.

Is there a fear that abuse will occur in the season, have you been made aware of this in previous seasons?

- No, I will be clear in saying that there have been no incidents that have been reported or come to our attention, we are confident with the production, but we still do not think that is what viewers want to see right now, says Jessica Linnman.

Recording would have started in September.

Ex on the beach is based on a British concept where singles go on holiday where their ex-partners gradually appear during the series.
