The Ultimatum: Queer Love (Netflix)
In a sea of straight, cisgender reality dating shows, Netflix offers a fresh perspective with The Ultimatum: Queer Love. The show features five couples; one is focused on marriage while the other isn’t so sure. The show, which dropped on Netflix on May 24, 2023, features all-queer women or nonbinary cast members, something that the show’s creator, Chris Coelen, said he’s looking at ways to incorporate into his other shows. “I think we figured out how to do it in. For Married at First Sight, if we had a couple that we felt like was a good match, that’s something we could certainly look at exploring in the future. It’s certainly something that we’re actively looking at in our other shows,” he says.
