Hulu announced a new dating reality series featuring virgin contestants, with two former Bachelor franchise stars set to host the upcoming show.
The streaming platform’s latest venture into reality dating programming will center on participants who haven’t had sexual experiences. Production details and premiere dates weren’t immediately available.
Two alumni from ABC’s Bachelor franchise will guide the contestants through the dating process.
The show represents Hulu’s continued expansion into reality television content. The platform has increasingly invested in unscripted programming alongside its scripted series and film offerings.
Dating shows have become a reliable audience draw for streaming services. Multiple platforms now feature variations on traditional dating formats, targeting different demographics and relationship experiences.
Virgin-focused dating content has appeared on other networks previously, though not always with mainstream success.
The Bachelor franchise continues to provide talent for other reality television projects. Former contestants and leads frequently transition into hosting roles across various networks and platforms.
Hulu hasn’t revealed casting details or specific format elements for the upcoming series. The show’s structure and elimination process remain undisclosed.
Reality dating programming typically performs well in streaming metrics. Viewers often engage with multiple episodes in single viewing sessions, making the content valuable for subscriber retention.
The announcement comes as Hulu continues building its reality television slate. The platform competes with Netflix, Amazon Prime, and other services for unscripted content viewers.
Production timelines for the new dating series haven’t been confirmed. Casting processes for reality shows typically require several months before filming begins.
