Perfect Match

Executive producer Chris Coelen tells The Hollywood Reporter about the surprising hookup that helped inspire the series and also explains why the show doesn't ...

“You get to dig into that in After the Altar, and it’s a really tremendous story between them. Coelen says he knows that fans have particularly been intrigued about the up-and-down romance for Raven Ross and Sikiru “SK” Alagbada, who opted to not get married at the end of their season and have had a rocky path since then. “Some people have followed the news on social media and know a bit about what’s transpired between SK and Raven since the reunion,” Coelen says. “Obviously, Valentine’s Day is a holiday that’s rife with symbolism about love,” Coelen says. Coelen says it’s appropriate that the series debuts on Feb. These shows are incredibly enjoyable at any time of the year, but I love that we get to see a show like Perfect Match come out on Valentine’s Day.” “Different people come in with different motivations; different people come in with different emotional baggage. Executive producer Chris Coelen, whose production company Kinetic Content is behind Perfect Match, explains to The Hollywood Reporter that part of the inspiration for the series was seeing off-camera connections form between participants of these series. Over the course of the 12-episode season, more eligible fan-favorite contestants will be cycled in as those having trouble landing a strong match will be sent packing. “It’s a show full of love and drama and conflict and strategy and gameplay,” Coelen says of Perfect Match. It’s really up to them to figure out what their own perfect match is.” This includes Love Is Blind’s Damian Powers and Too Hot to Handle’s Francesca Farago, who both appear on Perfect Match after their surprise connection was a part of the first season of the After the Altar episodes from the first season of Love Is Blind.

The last time that Zay Wilson was on a reality tv show, he appeared on The Ultimatum, the Netflix series where couples faced with the decision to marry, break up and date other contestants before deciding whether or not to stay together and tie the knot. Nick Uhlenhuth made his reality TV debut on the third season of The Circle, where he quickly became a fan favorite thanks to his laid-back charm. Ines Tazi was first introduced to Netflix viewers on the first season of The Circle: France in 2020. The 29-year-old actor, who is originally from Rochester, N.Y., has relocated to Los Angeles after The Circle, where he’s appeared in web series and even shows like Girls5Eva. Dom Gabriel was one of the most charismatic newcomers to Netflix’s reboot of The Mole, where he played a heavy machine operator. The 29-year-old YouTube creator and influencer from Vancouver, British Columbia, had a tempestuous relationship with Jowsey, that culminated in him proposing to her at the show’s reunion, but the pair ultimately called it quits. Chase DeMoor showed he was a player on and off the field when he appeared on season 2 of Netflix’s dating show, Too Hot To Handle, the series where frisky singles have to choose between having sex or winning a $100,000 grand prize. [dating reality series ](https://time.com/6231990/love-is-blind-zanab-cole-cuties/)Love Is Blind, due to a messy love triangle and a polarizing opinion on reproductive rights. DeMoor had a dramatic romance—and an equally dramatic split on the show, helping to make him one of the fan favorites of the season. When Damian Powers was last on a Netflix show, he had misgivings about committing to his then-fiancée, Giannina Gibelli, eventually leaving her at the altar. [a cornerstone of the reality TV genre](https://time.com/collection/reality-tv-most-influential-seasons/6199108/reality-tv-influence-on-world/) and this Valentine’s Day, a new Netflix series, Perfect Match, will bring together the most eligible singles from platform’s other reality series, for yet another chance at love. The 28-year-old property accountant-turned-real estate professional is one of the top agents at Tampa’s Allure Realty, doing so well that in 2021, she became the first agent at the firm to [“cap,”](https://www.instagram.com/p/CRmUihqrJXI/) which means she’s producing enough to no longer have to split commissions with the firm; she was also named the realty’s “Agent of the Year.” Petit-Frere, who was born in Haiti and moved to the U.S.

Damian starred in the first season of "Love Is Blind" where he coupled up with Giannina Gibelli. Bartise Bowden, from the latest season of "Love Is Blind," was chosen to go on a date with Ines. While "The Circle" originated in the UK, Joey starred in the first season of the US version on Netflix. "Too Hot To Handle" bad boy Chase DeMoor is one of the early contestants to be voted in. While on the show, Nick pretended he was a professional drummer, but he does play the instrument in his free time. Like Savannah, he was competitive during the gameplay but this backfired in the final ranking, leading to him coming fifth. Unlike the others, she did not star in a Netflix reality dating or competition series. Dom Gabriel is also one of the first arrivals in the villa. However, in the lead-up to their wedding day, the pair had a big fight off-camera, Rae Williams, Zay's partner, gave him the ultimatum but she ended up coupling with one of the other contestants on the show, Jake Cunningham. She first came onto the scene starring in the first season of the dating show, where contestants had to form romantic connections without kissing or having sex. In the series, 11 contestants completed tasks while one saboteur, the mole, worked to slow them down.

Netflix gathered an all-star roster from its dating and reality shows for the cast of 'Perfect Match.' Get to know them (and their Instagrams).

Get to know Selling Tampa alum Anne-Sophie Petit-Frere as the realtor tries her luck on the Netflix dating show Perfect Match.

As Selling Tampa fans know, Anne-Sophie is a talented luxury real estate agent known for her excellent marketing and analytical skills. Unfortunately, Selling Tampa was canceled after just one season on Netflix, but at least we know we haven’t seen the last of the show’s stars since Anne-Sophie will be joined by at least one co-star, Colony Reeves, on the new dating show. Hailling from Winter Park, Florida, Anne-Sophie Petit-Frere is a savvy businesswoman and top agent at Allure Realty.

The new dating show brings together former contestants of 'Too Hot to Handle' and 'Sexy Beast' in hopes they finally find true love.

Netflix recently dropped their newest reality show, Perfect Match and fans are all saying the same thing about it - that it's complete chaos.

But what they're all in agreeance about, is that it's *complete* chaos and they're living for the drama.

Except the prize on this show is unclear, with no pile of cash or anything to aspire toward other than everlasting love in a swimsuit. Rash decisions, heightened emotions and unexpected backstabbing anchor the storylines as the couples split, recouple and move on with new and shinier possibilities, often in a matter of hours. Most of the daters know one another from crossovers and events, or the good old-fashioned way: sliding into each other’s DMs. “Compatible” means winning a random challenge, such as agreeing on whether a habit is “cute” or “cringe,” or making out with their partners and other singles while blindfolded and then rating the hookups. Fast-forward through sequels, spinoffs and international formats, and they’ve got themselves an internal star system of hot singles eager to put themselves out there for the cameras – and their social media followings. Those players enter the game when each episode’s most compatible couple sends one on a date with someone who is already matched up.

Joey Sasso, Francesca Farago, Shayne Jansen, Chloe Veitch — yes, they're all on a show together. Twenty-three singles from nine different Netflix shows! This ...

Mitchell: “I think it would be so fun to do all the different challenges. Nick: “Obviously, you come in [to Perfect Match] with a history with some of those people, but it was equally cool to get to meet all the new people who I’d never met before. Major Moment(s): Colony and Anne-Sophie’s friendship and professional partnership is tested by a surprising offer (Episode 3), which leads them to have a serious discussion about their dynamic. There’s always going to be some overlapping but you just kind of have to do what’s best for you in the most respectful way to everyone else, because we’re all [on Perfect Match] to find someone.” Major Moment(s): Abbey confronts Kamari about making out with someone in front of her after they hooked up (Episode 5). Major Moment(s): “Daddy Nick” flirts with Ashley (Episode 4). Major Moment(s): Kariselle the Panda tries to find love… But out of all my exes, I’m glad that Mitchell was on the show and we got to kind of tie up some loose ends.” I think the biggest thing on [Perfect Match] for me was choosing myself and putting myself first because that’s all you have to do in life, as long as you’re not hurting anyone else. I won’t say there aren’t stakes, because there are big stakes, but you’re not standing at the altar at the end of it with friends and family waiting to see if you say, ‘I do.’ That’s a very different kind of show.” This is the Avengers: Endgame of Netflix reality TV (although this had better just be the beginning of this bonkers crossover content). This all new dating show unites familiar faces from all across Netflix’s galaxy of reality TV content, from competition shows (The Circle, The Mole) to romance shows (Love Is Blind, Too Hot to Handle) to docuseries (Selling Tampa, Twentysomethings) and beyond (uh, Sexy Beasts).

Reality star Francesca Farago discusses Netflix's "Perfect Match," plus off-camera rumors about who's dating who from Netflix's dating show casts.

It is a little uncomfortable for both of us, but at the end of the day, I was single during filming, and he’s very aware of that — and he’s very supportive. The trailer got released, I thought he was a little bit upset, and he left the house and I was like, “Oh, damn, he’s upset,” but then he comes back with roses and a little note that saying he was so proud of me. With “Too Hot To Handle,” I wasn’t able to give context. I was telling my boyfriend that if there’s something that does me dirty in an edit, and if there’s a context missing from a situation that makes me look better, I’m going to give context. Obviously, I feel like I just need to be aware of what was shown and what wasn’t shown. I think they don’t want us to leak any information, and there probably are some members of the cast that wouldn’t be able to keep a secret. But now, after hearing that I’m the villain, I need to be able to defend myself and defend my actions. I know you haven’t watched, but do you recall making the tampon comment? I loved having her there, and if she wasn’t there, I probably would have left on day three or something. Her and I both being in the queer community, we just kind of bonded automatically. Because there were mean people on the show, and it wasn’t me.
