From Love Is Blindto Too Hot To Handle, Netflix are the champions of making chaotic dating shows and this time is no different. The streaming service might have just created the most unique yet awkward dating show ever. Listen to this: a group of 16 sexy singles (from the UK, USA and Norway) show up to a villa in the south of France looking to find love. The surprising twist is that people arrive in pairs and just so happen to be related. The concept of the show involves siblings side by side, helping each other on their quest for love (and the $100,000 prize). It's hosted by star of Netflix's Too Hot To Handle, Melinda Berry.
The internet has already expressed its confusion at the concept of the show and we have many questions ourselves. Will the siblings wingman each other or will they sabotage their potential new relationships by bringing up every embarrassing thing their brother or sister has ever done? And perhaps the real question is will it fill our Love Island shaped hole?
Netflix's synopsis is certainly intriguing: 'Imagine you’re on a first date. The ambience is just right, and you’re on your second glass of bubbles. Your date leans in to whisper something cute in your ear. Just as sparks begin to fly, you notice something in your periphery: It’s your brother, sitting in the corner, watching you. No, this is not a scene from a fever dream you had once — it’s Dated & Related, a brand-new dating series in which pairs of siblings (and one enthusiastic set of cousins) see each other’s love lives up close and personal as they search for their soulmates.' Producers have also explained that the show will see siblings get pretty involved — i.e., 'more than just showing them your dating-app profile.' What could possibly go wrong?
