Following COLORS series winning the 2026 Emmy Award for travel and lifestyle programming, world broadcast partners have requested a new full Bahamas focus for COLORS of the Islands, planned as a six-part, 30-minute global broadcast journey across the Bahamian islands.
The new Bahamas season will travel by boat across the islands, guided by photographers, Bahamian visionaries, master chefs and cultural icons. Each episode will seek to capture the history, culture, hospitality, natural beauty and soul of The Bahamas — as told by the Bahamian people.
The proposed season will explore the full breadth of The Bahamas: New Providence as the gateway of welcome; Exuma as the dream water world; Eleuthera and Harbour Island through pink sand, style and serenity; Andros as the untamed heart; Abaco and the Cays as the sea-faring islands; and the Southern Out Islands as the hidden soul of The Bahamas.
“This is a cinematic invitation to the world to experience the full Bahamian universe,” said Farook Singh, creator and executive producer of the series. “The aqua waters carry us from island to island, but the story is told by the Bahamian people — through their culture, food, music, history, hospitality and vision for the future.”
The internationally broadcast COLORS series has won the 2026 Emmy Award for travel and lifestyle programming, marking a major milestone for the photography-led travel and culture franchise broadcast in more than 165 countries and translated into 33+ languages worldwide.
Built around the idea that behind every image is an even more powerful story, COLORS explores destinations through master photographers, local voices, culture, food, music, heritage, landscapes and the people who call each place home.
The Bahamas played an early role in the journey of the series.
The first Bahamas episodes were filmed near the end of the pandemic and helped shape the wider COLORS of the Islands concept. Even under the limitations of that period, The Bahamas gave the series a powerful visual and cultural foundation — from New Providence and Bimini to the beauty, hospitality and rhythm of the islands.
Immersive cinematic storytelling and world-class photography presented The Bahamas not only as a destination, but as a living culture.
“The Bahamas helped shape the DNA of COLORS,” said Singh. “Joy Jibrilu, former director general, and Mia Weech-Lange, former vice president, marketing, understood very early that tourism storytelling could go beyond beautiful images. It could reveal people, culture, memory, hospitality and the emotional soul of a place. That belief helped us build something that now travels around the world.”
COLORS of the Islands continue the franchise’s mission to celebrate destinations through photography and the story behind each image.
COLORS is an Emmy Award-winning travel, lifestyle and culture series built around photography and the story behind every image. Each episode follows photographers and local voices as they explore the people, places, culture, landscapes, food, music and living identity of a destination.
