Streaming platforms are overloaded with reality dating shows right now. From Love Island to The Bachelor and countless others, we’re constantly faced with new opportunities to watch single people pursue romance under the most unlikely circumstances.

The show, hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, challenged 30 participants to meet their matches after blind dating each other (literally) in windowless, adjacent rooms. Some couples got engaged during this process, and those that did went on to spend 10 days together in person before walking down the aisle.
In the end, just two couples — Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton and Amber Pike and Matt Barnett — actually went through with their weddings.

Netflix just released three new “where are they now”-style episodes called After the Altar. So, yes, I’m busy later.
The trailer promises a full spectrum of emotional situations to come, including adorable exchanges between Lauren and Cameron, and parenthood conversations between Amber and Barnett.
