The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On is back! The first eight episodes of the reality show’s second season have officially dropped on Netflix, meaning it’s time for more couple-swapping chaos. While the show’s premiere season was filmed in Austin, Texas, the latest installment takes place in the Southeast. Here’s what you need to know about filming location, including when production took place there.

But First, How Does The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On Work?

As a refresher, the show—hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey—centers on couples who aren’t aligned about their future. One person wants to get married while the other isn’t so sure. When the partner who wants to get married issues an ultimatum, the fun begins. Each couple agrees to split up and enter a “trial marriage” with a different person from another couple on the show. Over a few weeks, they experience married life before reuniting with their original partner for another “trial marriage.” After this experiment, each person has to decide if they want to marry their original partner, end that relationship, or continue their life journey with their trial partner.
