'Couple to Throuple' is a new dating show for polyamorous couples
Peacock has revealed the first trailer for its new polyamorous dating show, “Couple to Throuple,” and it might be the most proactive dating series yet.
The 10-episode series will introduce viewers to four couples who travel to a tropical resort and explore inviting a third person into their relationship.
In the trailer released Jan. 9, host Scott Evans promises that “Couple to Throuple” will be a “journey for love unlike you’ve ever seen before.”
How does 'Couple to Throuple' work?
In the trailer, host Evans describes the pairings as “curious couples” who are ready to experiment with polygamy.
“Every few days, they’ll invite one of 14 open-minded singles to throuple-up with them in the resort,” Evans explains.
After they become a throuple, they move into the resort together and share one bed. At the end of the experience, the original four couples will decide if they want to “commit to a life as a three,” as Evans says, stick with monogamy or call it quits and leave single.
Throughout the show, the original pairings will be tested. The trailer reveals that some contestants question their connections and become jealous. One contestant appears to get so upset at a coupling ceremony that they toss a chair into a pond.
“With three times the fun, the feelings, and drama, these relationships are put through the ultimate test to see if they are the perfect match,” the press release says.
