Netflix sets 'Love Is Blind,' 'Selling Sunset' and other reality TV show premiere dates

If you're a fan of Netflix reality shows like "Love is Blind," "Selling Sunset" and "Perfect Match," we've got great news: Your fall TV schedule is about to be stacked. Yes, the popular streaming service has officially announced premiere dates for a half-dozen of its most popular reality titles from August through December of this year. On the lineup is the third season of "Perfect Match," coming to the platform on Friday, August 1. In the romantic competition series, "contestants will pair up and take part in scandalous challenges designed to test compatibility and stir up drama," per Netflix. As per usual, the cast will feature some familiar faces from the reality-TV realm, including singles from "Love is Blind," "Too Hot to Handle," "Temptation Island" and more. Later that month is the second season of "Love is Blind: UK" on Wednesday, August 13: "In the new season, UK and Ireland-based singles who want to be loved for who they are — rather than what they look like — will take a less conventional approach to modern dating by choosing someone to marry without ever meeting them," per the streamer. October will see the premieres of both USA's "Love is Blind" season 9 (dropping on Wednesday, October 1) as well as "Selling Sunset" season 9 (Wednesday, October 29). In terms of the latter, the new episodes bring not only new high-stakes real estate listings but also new faces: Sandra Vergara joins the O Group this season, vying for hot properties alongside returning cast members like Chrishell Stause, Emma Hernan, Nicole Young, Amanza Smith and more. (Jason and Brett Oppenheim, the brokers behind the O Group, will also be back for season 9.) "Selling the OC," which is a spinoff series of "Selling Sunset," will also be returning for its fourth installment on Netflix on Wednesday, November 12. The offshoot series will also see new agents adding some tension to the property-pushing mix, with Fiona Belle, Ashtyn Zerboni, and Kaylee Ricciardi joining the season 4 cast. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. And the real estate-themed drama will continue into December with the premiere of the second edition of "Owning Manhattan" on Friday, December 5. The new season will continue following powerhouse business mogul Ryan Serhant and his brokerage SERHANT through the 'highest highs and lowest lows' of New York City real estate. 'It's an emotional and physical roller coaster,' Serhant told Tudum about season 2. 'There are records broken — $50 and $60 million purchases. There is commercial development in the hundreds of millions of dollars.' Sounds expensive and juicy! Given that "Love Island USA" is now over, our TV schedules are wide open for new Netflix reality drama — happy to see some of the streamer's best shows back to fill the void this summer and beyond.

Netflix Announce Slate of New and Returning Reality TV Shows

Peacock and Hulu have dominated the world of reality TV this year, but Netflix just issued a reminder that they've got the goods in the unscripted world, too. The streaming giant just announced a handful of new reality shows, in addition to the premiere dates for some of our favs, like Selling Sunset and Selling the OC. Find out what got renewed, and what new series you're going to want to add to your list. Simon Cowell and Harry Jowsey are coming to Netflix Last year, Netflix hired a new VP of unscripted named Jeff Gaspin. He said he wanted the streamer to focus less on 'cable-style shows' and put an emphasis on 'broadcast-style' shows. At an event this week called Summer Break, Netflix revealed what appears to be Jeff's vision. Their initial stab at broadcast-style reality is currently airing with Building the Band. In that same vein, they just shared that Simon Cowell will lead a singing competition called Simon Cowell: The Next Act. A handful of dating shows were greenlit for the next year. Harry Jowsey scored his own series called Let's Marry Harry. Additionally, Natalie Joy and Nick Viall will host a series called Age of Attraction. That will feature singles ranging from 22 to 59 going after each other without knowing each other's ages. Other greenlit series include some of the cable-style shows Jeff said he wanted to avoid. Members Only: Palm Beach arrives in December 2025 and sounds like it belongs on Bravo. It follows a group of women in navigating the 'high-stakes hierarchies of America's most rarefied social circles.' A similar program called Calabassas Confidential drops in 2026. Although the initial news about Netflix's new approach to reality TV made it seem like some of our favorites were at risk of cancellation, they announced a ton of returning shows along with their premiere dates. Here's what's coming: Love is Blind UK Season 2: August 13 Love is Blind Season 9: October 1 Selling Sunset Season 9: October 29 Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2: November 4 Selling the OC Season 4: November 12 Owning Manhattan Season 2: December 5 Notably, there were a handful of shows left out of the big reality TV event. The Circle, Selling the City, and Too Hot Too Handle remain in limbo, but clearly, we've got a lot of other options arriving soon.

Sci-fi series based on Stephen King novel arrives on Stan

Telepathic and telekinetic kids from middle America are scooped up and taken to a secret institution where tests are performed on them by people who say they're saving the world. No, we're not talking about Stranger Things, though you could be forgiven for thinking so. The Institute is based on a Stephen King novel of the same name and follows brainiac Luke (Joe Freeman), who, at just 14 years old, is already too smart for high school and is about to head off to college. But before that can happen, he's kidnapped in the middle of the night and brought to The Institute, where very little is explained to him, and he has serious doubts he'll be returned to his home. He's got some telekinetic ability, but nothing he can control. There are other kids with similarly fledgling powers, and all of them are just as in the dark as he is about their fate. Meanwhile in the outside world, Tim Jamieson (Ben Barnes, with more free time now Shadow and Bone was cancelled) picks up a job as a semi-civilian police employee whose only task is to walk through the small town at night knocking on doors of businesses to make sure they're not being broken into. But there's an offbeat unhoused woman along his route who knows some things that she shouldn't and has him wondering if there's some sort of conspiracy in town. Mary Louise Parker also stars in this sci-fi thriller. Two episodes were released to kick things off, with further episodes arriving weekly. If you combined The Voice, Love is Blind and Popstars (you remember the one, our first introduction to Sophie Monk) you'd come close to Building the Band. The competition singing show sees 50 wannabe boy band or girl band stars each confined to their own little pods in a big warehouse, listening to just one of their number singing their favourite song in the hope that their peers will want to work with them in a band. You need at least five people to show interest in order to proceed in the competition, and then you can chat with your fellow singers to form a group of between three and five people. None of the singers can see each other through this whole process. Hosted by Backstreet Boy AJ McClean, the series also features judges Nicole Scherzinger, Kelly Rowland and Liam Payne in his last project before his tragic death. This four-part true crime docuseries does something that many other entries in the genre fail to - it puts the victims front and centre. The series delves into the murder of Maddie Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin and Xana Kernodle, four University of Idaho students who were killed in the same off-campus share house in November, 2022. Through interviews with the slain students' closest friends and family members, as well as the perspective of local media (who are portrayed as concerned locals while the national media are considered invasive vultures), true crime fans and faculty staff, the story of the foursome's lives and deaths comes into focus. But by the nature of the case, this series doesn't have a resolution. We know who the murderer is (arrested suspect Bryan Kohberger pleaded guilty to the crimes only days before the series was released) but we still don't know his motive or how he actually knew the victims. Without these crucial parts of the mystery, as a piece of content, One Night in Idaho is lacking. But it is still engaging and tragic, and you come away with a great sense of who these young people were and how big a hole they've left in the lives of those who loved them. Lena Dunham's back with another show after the success of comedy series Girls. This Netflix offering also stars Dunham, but she's not the main character this time around. That honour belongs to Megan Stalter as Jessica, an advertising rep who hasn't quite come to terms with her recent breakup. After a particularly humiliating encounter with her ex and his new girlfriend, Jessica decides to take up an opportunity to work at her company's London branch and get away from her sad reality. She's determined to live out her London fantasy and almost immediately finds herself attracted to pub singer Felix (Will Sharpe), a new contender for the title of 'internet boyfriend'. The comedy is a little brash and loud and American, to be expected of a series called Too Much, but fans of Dunham's work should like the show. It is chock full of cameos and appearances from familiar faces, with just the first couple of episodes alone featuring Jessica Alba, Rhea Perlman, Rita Wilson, Andrew Rannells, Emily Ratajkowski, Richard E. Grant and Adwo Aboah, among many others. If you were a fan of Bosch, there's a new spin-off to enjoy in Prime Video's Ballard. The crime series stars Maggie Q as the titular cold case detective who thinks she's found the work of a serial killer in a case more than two decades old. On Disney+ fans can rejoice in some behind-the-scenes action and interviews celebrating the legacy of the original summer blockbuster, with Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story. Meanwhile younger audiences can catch the latest Disney original musical with Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires. Disney+ also has the return It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, with season 17 starting on Wednesday. Over on AppleTV+ there's a new season of sci-fi drama Foundation, and nature documentary series The Wild Ones, which follows three experts trying to save several species from extinction.

Netflix shares major Love is Blind UK season 2 update as first look trailer drops

Love is Blind UK is returning to Netflix next month and the highly-anticipated new series has been given a release date Netflix fans say "let's go" as a beloved series is making a much-anticipated comeback soon. The wait is almost over – Love is Blind UK season 2 is set to grace Netflix screens again next month, with its return slated for August 13. ‌ Featuring a group of hopeful singles on the search for their perfect match, Love is Blind adds a unique twist to the standard dating show dynamic. Participants engage in "dates" and forge connections without laying eyes on each other, conversing from within individual isolation pods. ‌ Should a couple decide to take their relationship forward, they get engaged and finally have the chance to meet face to face. ‌ The format has proven a smash hit, capturing viewers' hearts since its initial UK launch on Netflix in 2024, reports OK!. And now, a major update has been shared. The upcoming instalment, presented by the dynamic duo Matt and Emma Willis, is just weeks away from release. Adding to the excitement, Netflix has dropped a fresh trailer and tantalising first-look snaps, giving fans a juicy glimpse into the dramatic new series. ‌ The latest sneak peek shows emotional highs and lows, with tearful brides and strong allegations of disrespect through the teaser. Netflix's tantalising synopsis reveals: "Over several weeks, the newly engaged couples will move in together, plan their wedding and find out if their physical connection matches their strong emotional bond developed in the Pods. "When their wedding day arrives, will real-world realities and external factors push them apart, or will they marry the person they fell blindly in love with? Hosted by Matt and Emma Willis, this series will uncover whether looks, race or age do matter, or if love really is blind." ‌ However, not every episode will drop at once. On 13 August, fans can binge-watch episodes 1-4, but they'll have to hang tight until Wednesday, 20 August for episodes 5-8. The final two instalments will be available on 27 August, rounding up the series to a total of 10 episodes. Netflix teased the upcoming season on Instagram, posting: "Unleash the magic, unleash the drama. Love is Blind: UK is back for season 2 on 13 August, only on Netflix." ‌ Fans are buzzing with excitement, with one commenting: "Let's goooooo! ! ! ! ! LOVE IS BLIND UK is always breathe of fresh air. "I knowwwww I won't be disappointed so fingers crossed." Another said: "YESSSSSSSSS READY TO BE OBSESSED." A third shared their anticipation: "I so can't wait." While another replied: "I'm ready to be sucked in for weeks." One more fan couldn't contain their enthusiasm: "BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! ! ! Let's gooo."

"Love is Blind" star Chelsea Blackwell's ideal 48 hours in Charlotte

Your tour guide: Chelsea Blackwell, one of the stars of Season 6 of "Love is Blind," the most-streamed season in franchise history, which featured singles from right here in the Queen City. Here's Chelsea's ideal weekend itinerary for hosting out-of-town friends or family: Friday My absolute go-to for when people visit is Eddie's on Lake Norman. We'd order their muscoot mussels and watermelon martinis. Chef's kiss. I live in Rock Hill now, so I could also take everyone to Papa Doc's for a crusty but good time out with live music. After that, we'd head to Kounter's speakeasy, Elsie's, also in Rock Hill. Saturday We'd start the day at Lincoln Street Kitchen & Cocktails, the best brunch in Charlotte. Deviled eggs and wagyu. Need I say more? Their Bloody Marys are unmatched and they have their own house-infused liquor, which is so cool. Then, we'd do some rooftop bar hopping. We'd start at Whiskey Warehouse and The Royal Tot. I also love Nuvole and Novelty House in Uptown. For dinner, the best food is at Mama Ricotta's, hands down. Amma's cheese ravioli will unlock emotions you've never experienced. After dinner, we'd head to Dahlia's in Uptown for a Hollyhill Starburst. It's the best nightcap drink. Sunday We'd definitely do a Sunday send-off at the one and only Pump House. Bottomless mimosas are $16, they have fabulous steak and eggs, and their French toast is iconic. One activity that every Charlottean should check out at least once? Grabbing your crew, packing the cooler, and floating down the Catawba River is truly the most Charlotte summer activity ever.
