The New Season Of The Ultimatum Is Full Of Messy Queer Couples

The devil works hard, but Netflix works harder. Even before Netflix’s hit reality dating show The Ultimatum premiered on April 6, the streaming platform had already announced Season 2, with an exciting twist. Instead of the typical heteronormative reality dating show set-up, the second season will feature only LGBTQ+ couples. Here’s everything you need to know about The Ultimatum Season 2, including information about its cast and release date.

Season 1 of the inventive reality show quickly became one of the hottest new Netflix original series, even kicking Bridgerton out of the No. 1 trending slot in the United States. Audiences were introduced to six couples who were close to getting engaged — or at least that’s what one person in the couple wanted, which is why they issued their partner the show’s titular ultimatum: Either agree to get married, or move on. To test whether they were ready for marriage, the show’s six couples were tasked with letting go of one another and coupling up with another person in the group. By the end of the series, they either had confirmation they wanted to get married or that they wanted to break up. And in true Netflix reality dating fashion, this all-or-nothing model pushed many people to their breaking point.

Like with Love Is Blind and Too Hot to Handle, audiences ate this drama up, and now they’re ready for more. Luckily, Netflix is already preparing for the next batch of heartbreakers coming to your screen.

The Ultimatum Season 2 Cast

Netflix has announced that the all-LGBTQ+ cast will be made up of women and nonbinary people. The participants are Vanessa Papa, Aussie Chau, Mildred Woody, Yoly Rojas, Mal Wright, Raelyn Cheung-Sutton, Tiff Der, Xander Boger, Lexi Goldberg, and Sam Mark.

There will also be a change of host. Instead of Nick and Vanessa Lachey, who hosted Season 1, the new season will be hosted by JoAnna Garcia Swisher.

The Ultimatum Season 2 Release Date

The new season will drop on May 24.

The Ultimatum Season 2 Trailer

Netflix released The Ultimatum’s Season 2 trailer a little over a month before the season premiere. As expected, it features tons of dramatic moments as relationships are pushed to their limits.
