Netflix has unveiled the Season 2 cast of “Perfect Match.”
The series follows 22 singles from across Netflix’s various unscripted titles who return to the streamer to couple up and test their new romantic relationships through compatibility challenges. Winning couples gain power in the game to bring in new singles to match with their castmates — setting up potential love matches or stirring trouble in paradise as they compete to be the strongest couple at the villa, crowned the Perfect Match.
Nick Lachey hosts the series, which is produced by Kinetic Content (“Love Is Blind,” “The Ultimatum,” “Married at First Sight”).
Season 1 of “Perfect Match” premiered in February 2023. After 12 episodes, Dom Gabriel and Georgia Hassarati were crowned as the winning couple, though the pair announced their breakup shortly after the season was released. Georgia went on to date Harry Jowsey, the ex-boyfriend of fellow “Perfect Match” star Francesca Farago, who dated him on “Too Hot to Handle” Season 1. Georgia and Harry didn’t make it either, however — and Dom and Harry are now both seeking romance again on “Perfect Match” Season 2.
Other casting highlights include “Love Is Blind” Season 6 star Jessica Vestal, “Love Is Blind” Season 5 star Izzy Zapata and “Too Hot to Handle” Season 5 winner Elys Hutchinson.
The first six episodes of “Perfect Match” Season 2 will debut on June 7, with three more episodes dropping on June 14 and the finale on June 21. See a teaser and meet the full cast below.
