Netflix [1] announced a bunch of updates regarding their dating-show [2] lineup on March 24. To share the news, Netflix alums Matt Barnett ("Love Is Blind" [3] season one), Jarrette Jones ("Love Is Blind [4]" season two), Harry Jowsey ("Too Hot to Handle" [5] season one), Nathan Webb ("Too Hot to Handle" season two), and Nathan Soan Mngomezulu ("Too Hot to Handle" season three) formed a Y2K [6]-inspired boy band, N-2-LUV, and sang about all of the upcoming shows.
"Love has no off-season," the group sang in the chorus. 98 Degrees member Nick Lachey [7], who also cohosts "Love Is Blind" and "The Ultimatum," [8] watched the video announcement from the Netflix-created boy band and joked, "I'd give it a solid 97 degrees."
The list of shows is the streaming platform's most diverse to date. "Love Is Blind: After the Altar" will allow fans to catch up with season two ahead of "Love Is Blind" season three later this year; the first season of "The Ultimatum" hasn't even aired yet, and the show's already been greenlit for a second season, which will feature a queer cast comprised of "mostly women"; a new show titled "Jewish Matchmaking" from the producers of "Indian Matchmaking" [9] was announced; a new series titled "Dated and Related," featuring siblings who help each other find "the one," is premiering this year; "Love on the Spectrum," a docu-reality series following people on the autism spectrum dating [10], will also premiere this year; and an untitled series hosted by Lachey will have all the singles from Netflix reality shows "Too Hot to Handle," "Love Is Blind," The Circle [11]," "Selling Tampa," [12] and more try to find their perfect match among each other.
As for more Netflix series that have been renewed, "Love Is Blind" is getting a fourth and fifth season, "The Ultimatum" is coming back with a second season, "Indian Matchmaking" was renewed for a third season, and "Too Hot to Handle" is coming back for season four. It's a lot to take in! But fans of dating reality shows will have their plates full with content. Seriously, don't even bother to put the popcorn down.
