Who Needs Couples Therapy When You’ve Got a New Season of Netflix’s ‘The Ultimatum’
Questioning a future with your partner? Anxious about commitment? Who needs couples therapy with a trained professional when The Ultimatum is here to put your relationship through a scorching hot, televised crucible?!
The streaming service — which has really started to corner the market on outrageous dating shows/social experiments — announced the show’s second season, which will feature five new couples of women and non-binary people. Each couple is at a crossroads: One partner’s ready for marriage, the other’s not so sure. Into that extremely delicate and personal balance, Netflix is dumping a whole lot of chaos in the form of a chance to date around with the other contestants (within the confines of a reality TV vacuum manipulated by producers) before making the ultimate decision.
