The Reality Dating Show

Age Of Attraction

Netflix will soon release its bold and buzzy reality dating show – an experiment that asks: is love truly ageless? In the eight-episode series, single men and women aged between their early 20s and late 50s date one another without ever knowing each other’s real age, forging connections based purely on chemistry, conversation and instinct rather than how old you are. Hosted by The Bachelor alum Nick Viall and his wife Natalie Joy (who also have a notable age gap), the show premieres on 11th March on Netflix, with episodes released across three weeks. It’s a fresh twist on the dating genre, blending heartfelt moments with social-experiment vibes, perfect for light, engaging viewing.
