As Love Island comes to an end, viewers may be at a loss for how to spend their evenings.
But fear not, as a new UK dating show that’s ‘sexier than’ the ITV dating show will be your new TV obsession.
The upcoming TV show Are You The One? has already made waves in the US, spanning a hugely successful eight-series run across the pond.
Now, the matchmaking series will be launching on our home turf and will see twenty bombshell Brits staying in a luxurious villa in Malta alongside their research-based ‘Perfect Match’.

However, the contestants won’t be told who their best scientific match is. Instead, they will have to go through chemistry-driven tests and games to identify the ten biological pairings in order to gain the impressive cash prize.
Full of challenges, including the highly-feared 'Truth Booth', the tests will help the contestants work out who is best placed in a match, while singles take part in ‘Match Up Ceremonies’ in every episode to identify who is ‘the one’ and who is just there for the holiday.
Ten men and ten women will be taking part in the series, with the youngest contestant aged 20 and the oldest contestants aged 28, including a firefighter, a singer-songwriter and a ring girl.
Hosted by BBC Sounds presenter Joelah Noble, the series is set to launch on MTV and Paramount+ on Monday 8 August - so fans won’t have to wait long before indulging in another summer of love series.
Host Joelah said of the show: “I couldn’t be more excited to be fronting the first UK series of Are You The One. I have loved this show for years, so it really was a dream job for me!
“Expect romance, drama and passion … all the best ingredients for an amazing series which teaches us that it’s not always easy to find your ‘perfect match’ but it’s very much worth it!”
Kelly Bradshaw, the senior VP for MTV Entertainment Brands International at Paramount, said of the new spin-off show: “We’re expanding our proven global formats strategy by bringing the first-ever UK version of popular reality series Are You The One? to MTV audiences outside of the U.S.”
Bradshaw continued to Variety: “MTV’s hit reality formats continue to travel and resonate with audiences around the world across platforms. I can’t wait to bring this one to audiences this summer — they’re going to love it.”
Are You The One? is available to watch on MTV and Paramount+ from Monday 8 August at 10:00pm GMT.
