Endemol is producing an interactive series for the internet with social network Bebo.
Users of the website will audition to join The Gap Year with video submissions about their ideal year abroad.
Three women and three men will be picked by online vote from across the UK, Ireland, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand to take part.
They will travel the world and report their experiences to Bebo with video diaries, blogs and photos. The stars will also face challenges viewed by network members.
Bebo will hold weekly polls to make decisions about the group's journey.
Website president Joanna Shields said: "At Bebo we’re about creating the most exciting and unique user experience across the globe, and the success of our online serial KateModern and soon-to-launch Sofia’s Diary shows that Beboers are enthusiastic about truly engaging with media.
"The Gap Year is the first truly interactive reality series, giving Beboers a unqiue layer of interactivity – the chance to literally steer the fate of the contestants’ global journeys."
Endemol UK managing director Peter Cowley added: "We’re looking for Bebo’s most adventurous members. Whether applicants have travelled abroad before, or simply chatted about it online with Bebo friends, The Gap Year promises to be the adventure of a lifetime."
