Hannah Burns 'Completely Cut' From ‘Perfect Match' Season 3

Hannah Burns 'Completely Cut' From ‘Perfect Match' Season 3

Cosmopolitan11 hours ago
Netflix's Perfect Match season 3 just debuted last week, but already, there has been more drama offscreen than in the first six episodes of the series. For instance: Amber Desiree 'AD' Smith from Love Is Blind and Ollie Sutherland from Love Is Blind: UK have already announced their engagement (and pregnancy!). And more recently, Too Hot to Handle's Louis Russell made his red carpet debut with Love Island USA's Huda Mustafa (the latter of whom is not even on Perfect Match...)
The latest drama: The Mole alum Hannah Burns claims Netflix won't let her go public with her fiancé/the father of her child...and according to her, they 'completely cut' all her scenes from the season.
Confused? Let's back up a bit. Hannah first raised eyebrows in late June, when she posted an Instagram suggesting she's gotten engaged on the upcoming season. '& now I'm engaged 🙊💍 Watch me find love on Perfect Match August 1st on @netflix,' she captioned a promo pic on June 25.
Oh, and she also debuted a photo of what appears to be an engagement ring just over a week earlier on June 16.
The plot thickened on July 16 when she announced that not only is she engaged—she's also expecting her first child.
Naturally, fans began speculating that she'd met her mystery man on Perfect Match, and she kept the rumor mill turning with TikTok videos like this:
And this:
And while the identity of Hannah's fiancé is still not clear, she's now calling out Netflix for not allowing her to go public with her romance. In a TikTok posted on August 2, Hannah wrote, 'So, since my castmates from PM announced their engagement and fake relationships, can I be allowed to announce my BD/fiancé now or ????'
She also added a caption reading, 'Like the double standard is INSANE.'
She doesn't name names, but it seems preeeetty clear she's calling out her fellow castmates, AD and Ollie, who were allowed to go public with their post-Perfect Match relationship way back in March at the Love Is Blind season 8 reunion.
THEN, in a second TikTok, Hannah wrote, 'Being told you have to keep your engagement a secret for six months only to find out you were completely cut from Perfect Match.' Oh?
If you've already watched, then you know that Hannah doesn't appear in the first six episodes of Perfect Match. Presumably, she will be one of the new arrivals in a later episode if chosen for a date, but tbd!!
Since Hannah is apparently unable to disclose any more deets, we'll just have to wait to find out who her IRL perfect match ends up being.

Let Incestflix: A Case Study in Niche Digital Streaming

In a digital world dominated by streaming giants like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime, smaller hyper-niche platforms are carving out distinct spaces. These services focus on extremely specific content categories, attracting tight-knit and loyal communities. Let Incestflix is one such example—its controversial branding sparks debate, yet it serves as a compelling case study for understanding how highly specialized platforms operate. More than just a content library, it reflects the technological, marketing, and cultural dynamics behind hyper-personalized entertainment. From a technical perspective, Let Incestflix likely mirrors mainstream streaming services in infrastructure, relying on cloud-based hosting and global Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) like AWS CloudFront or Cloudflare. These ensure high-speed streaming and low buffering, even for a globally distributed user base. Given its sensitive niche, security is a top priority. The platform may implement SSL encryption, OAuth2 authentication, and two-factor authentication (2FA) to protect user data. Backend operations are probably powered by a robust Content Management System (CMS) that manages uploads, categorization, and moderation. This CMS may feature metadata optimization tools to improve discoverability, role-based permissions for staff, and community moderation features like flagging inappropriate uploads. Mainstream platforms often enjoy diverse revenue streams, but Let Incestflix faces advertising bans, payment gateway restrictions, and search engine limitations due to its content nature. Consequently, it must adopt alternative monetization models: Subscription-based Video on Demand (SVOD) for recurring revenue for recurring revenue Pay-per-view for exclusive or premium content for exclusive or premium content Cryptocurrency payments for anonymity and to bypass payment processor restrictions for anonymity and to bypass payment processor restrictions Community crowdfunding or donations to maintain operations Since major processors like Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal may refuse service, blockchain-based payment solutions like Bitcoin or Monero become vital. Without mainstream advertising, Let Incestflix relies heavily on Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and word-of-mouth marketing. Strategies include: Targeting long-tail keywords with low competition with low competition Creating deep internal linking structures to keep users engaged to keep users engaged Optimizing video metadata for search indexing for search indexing Leveraging referral traffic from niche forums and private chat groups This approach allows the platform to sustain traffic despite being excluded from traditional digital ad networks like Google Ads or Meta Ads. Let Incestflix caters to what sociologists call identity-driven content consumption—users actively seek spaces aligned with their interests. The platform fosters community through features like: Custom playlists and watchlists Member-only discussion boards Private messaging or chat systems Personalized recommendations These tools strengthen user loyalty by creating a tribal sense of belonging, where members feel understood and validated. Even if operating within legal parameters, the platform navigates a minefield of ethical and legal issues. Key areas include: Compliance with global privacy laws like GDPR (Europe) and CCPA (California) like GDPR (Europe) and CCPA (California) Age verification systems to block underage access to block underage access Regional content restrictions and copyright protections To handle this, AI-driven moderation tools scan uploads for illegal or non-compliant content, supplemented by human oversight for accuracy. Let Incestflix is part of a broader ecosystem of niche digital spaces, alongside platforms like Shudder (horror), Gaia (spirituality), and FetLife (alternative lifestyles). These communities highlight a trend toward media fragmentation, where smaller audiences gather around highly specific content rather than large, general platforms. Let Incestflix illustrates both the opportunity and complexity of running a niche streaming service. Its existence underscores how the internet is evolving into a more decentralized, specialized, and boundary-pushing space. Whether it adapts, rebrands, or fades away, the model it represents will continue to influence the future of digital content delivery. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

5 top new movies to stream this week on Prime Video, HBO Max, Hulu and more (Aug. 5-11)

The start of another week means a fresh slate of movies arriving across the best streaming services. And the biggest fish in the pond, Netflix, is sitting the next seven days out, which gives Prime Video, HBO Max and more the chance to take the spotlight. However, the biggest newcomer this week can be found on premium video-on-demand platforms. Jurassic World Rebirth' is set to make the tyrannosaurus-sized leap from cinemas to streaming. And viewers looking for more blockbuster action will also want to check out 'The Pickup' on Prime Video. Plus, the summer of Pedro Pascal continues over on HBO Max. These are the top new movies you can stream this week, and if you're in the mood for a binge-watch, check out our guide to the top new TV shows this week. 'Jurassic World Rebirth' is the best 'Jurassic' movie since the original 'Jurassic World' back in 2015. OK, so when the competition is 'Fallen Kingdom' and 'Dominion,' which are, in my opinion, two of the worst tentpole blockbusters of the last decade, that's faint praise. But still, 'Rebith' represents a step in the right direction for a franchise that has so often struggled to recapture the enduring magic of the original 'Jurassic Park.' Even though I admit, it's fun but flawed. 'Rebirth' sees Scarlett Johansson play Zora Bennett, an ex-military special operative, who leads a team into one of the world's most dangerous places: A tropical island that served as the research facility for the original Jurassic Park. The mission requires them to secure three DNA samples from specific dinosaurs, but of course, the plan goes awry. Also starring Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey, it packs plenty of dino-themed fun, but the series' insistence on creating new mutated creatures does feel ill-judged. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Buy or rent on Amazon from August 5 Prime Video is following up its summer streaming hit, 'Heads of State,' with another high-stakes action comedy in the form of 'The Pickup.' This one looks perfect for viewers craving a big-budget romp, but without having to shell out for a cinema ticket and overpriced theatre snacks. Its cast list is also nothing to sneeze at, with Eddie Murphy, Pete Davidson, Keke Palmer and Eva Longoria headlining. I doubt it'll be a critical darling, but its future as a Prime Video No. 1 looks pretty secure. 'The Pickup' centers on two armored truck drivers (Murphy and Davidson) who face the shift from hell when criminals, led by a savvy mastermind (Palmer), ambush them and attempt to steal their vehicle's cargo. What follows is an action-packed shift as these mismatched co-workers are roped into a dangerous heist with highly personal stakes. The setup seems predictable, but the trailer promises plenty of explosions and lots of slapstick comedy gags. Watch on Prime Video from August 6 'The Monkey' is one of my biggest disappointments of 2025. It's not because it's bad, but rather considering the pedigree of director Oz Perkins (the man behind last year's 'Longlegs' and the overlooked 'The Blackcoat's Daughter'), I had high hopes for this horror, and ultimately, my expectations weren't quite met. Still, there's a lot of darkly comedic fun to be found in this blood-drenched movie, and now that it's arriving on Hulu, the barrier to entry has dropped considerably. 'The Monkey' offers a series of extremely gory kills, stitched together by an off-kilter story that's a little too goofy. The movie opens with twin brothers finding a strange and very creepy wind-up monkey doll. This odd toy is actually cursed and causes a string of horrific deaths. Fast forward 25 years, and the brothers (both played by Theo James) have become estranged. But when the monkey doll resurfaces, they're forced to reunite to end the curse for good. Watch on Hulu from August 7 Comedy-slashers are back in vogue with 'Heart Eyes' blending horror and humor back in February, and 'Clown in a Cornfield' bringing the same mixture to the summer months. It's certainly no 'Scream,' but it does play with the audience's expectations in some novel ways. However, the final reveal is seriously derivative of Edgar Wright's fantastic cop comedy 'Hot Fuzz,' which lessens its impact. Otherwise, it's a slasher with some grizzly kills and some very irritating characters, ones that make frustrating decisions too often. Based on the novel of the same name by Adam Cesare, it follows high school student Quinn (Katie Douglas) and her father (Aaron Abrams) as they relocate to the small town of Kettle Springs. The quaint town has fallen on hard times in the wake of a factory fire destroying its main industry, and things get even worse when a sinister clown named Frendo starts stalking Quinn and her new pals. Watch on Shudder from August 8 If my social media feeds are any indication, Pedro Pascal fatigue appears to be sweeping the internet. However, if you're not suffering from this strange phenomenon, you'll be pleased to see 'Freaky Tales' is heading to HBO Max this week after a limited theatrical release back in April. This anthology action-comedy is split into four interconnected chapters and focuses on real historical events that took place during 1987 in Oakland, California. These individual stories focus on an eclectic cast of characters from an NBA star to a corrupt cop, a female rap duo to a group of teenage punks. Also featuring Jay Ellis, Normani, Dominique Thorne, Ben Mendelsohn, Angus Cloud and a small role for America's surrogate father, Tom Hanks, 'Freaky Tales' was embraced by critics and audiences alike. It currently holds a particularly strong 89% viewer score on Rotten Tomatoes. Watch on HBO Max from August 8
