The second season of the hit dating show I Kissed A Boy may have just concluded with a juicy reunion special, but we're still in the mood for loved this summer.
I Kissed a Boy's second saw Dannii Minogue returning to play Cupid for a new group of queer men searching for love – and just like last time, it all started with a smooch.
With the show now over for another year, you may well have found yourself in the mood for more dating shows with strong queer representation – and we're happy to report that there are plenty out there that will provide you with all the feels (and, of course, a generous dose of drama).
Here are seven more LGBTQ+ dating shows you can get stuck into immediately…
When the first series of I Kissed A Boy came to an end in 2023, BBC bosses announced its follow-up would follow 10 queer women looking for love and be called, of course, I Kissed A Girl. Dannii Minogue presents this iteration of the show, too, which sees newly-formed female couples beginning their journey with a kiss, before being encouraged encouraged to explore their new connections in the Italian masseria.
Currently there's one season available to watch, but fans will be delighted to hear that a follow-up coming in 2026 was just announced, with internet personality and comedian Charley Marlowe returning to narrate.
When it premiered last year, The Boyfriend made TV history as Japan's first-ever same sex dating show – and it's easily one of the most cosy and wholesome dating shows out there.
The Netflix series follows nine men who spend one month in a luxury beach house, where they explore their connections with one another, whether that's love or a new friendship.
Admittedly, The Boyfriend is probably not to the tastes of those who prefer the action-packed drama that's commonplace in shows like Love Island and Too Hot To Handle, but critics quickly hailed the 10-episode series as a 'groundbreaking' new reality show and 'the best reality series on TV'.
The Boyfriend is available to watch on Netflix.
The Bi Life premiered in 2018 and follows a group of British bisexual, pansexual and questioning singles, who jet off to Barcelona to find love, all the while trading dating advice with their fellow hopefuls and getting a little help from host Courtney Act.
While the standard Love Island format doesn't traditionally allow same-sex couples (with the show's producers having infamous citied 'logistical difficulties' in response to past criticism), The Bi Life opened up new possibilities for its contestants. However, there's no prize fund to be won – only love.
The Bi Life is available to watch on Hayu.
You might remember back in 2022, the creators behind Love Is Blind announced their new show The Ultimatum: Marry Or Move On, hosted by married couple Nick and Vanessa Lachey.
In 2023, Netflix then announced an LGBTQ+ spin-off – with exclusively women and non-binary people – called Queer Love, which tests if couples still wanted to get married after being presented with ultimatums, which has so far run for two seasons.
The Ultimatum: Queer Love is available to watch on Netflix.
This queer dating show poses a very important question: can a 'daddy' and 'himbo' fall in love?
That's the premise behind the show, hosted by Stormy Daniels (!!!), which brings together two groups of gay men at very different phases in their life to see if they can find love. So far, there have been two seasons.
For the Love of DILFs is available to watch on Apple TV.
This American reality dating show premiered back in 2018 and was hosted by actor and *NSYNC singer Lance Bass.
Modelled after The Bachelor, a cast of 13 gay suitors live in a house together with one 'Prince Charming' looking for love.
At the end of episodes, a ceremony is hosted where Prince Charming gives black ties to the men he wants to get to know more, while the rest are eliminated.
Finding Prince Charming is available to watch on Apple TV.
Coming Out For Love premiered in 2023 and, came from the mind of queer filmmaker and writer Nicole Conn.
It features 16 women living together and participating in 'emotional and physical challenges' to compete for the heart of the 'keymaster', influencer and activist Amber Whittington.
Coming Out For Love is available to watch on YouTube.
