Netflix has a new reality TV show for you to watch this week! On the same day as the Love is Blind season 10 reunion, Netflix is rolling out its latest dating show, Age of Attraction, and it's definitely inspired somewhat by the streamer's most popular dating series.
Age of Attraction premieres on Netflix on Wednesday, March 11. With almost no time to wait until the premiere, shared everything you need to know about Age of Attraction!
Age of Attraction release schedule
Age of Attraction premieres on Netflix at 12 a.m. PT / 3 a.m. ET on Wednesday, March 11. New episodes of the series will be released at 12 a.m. PT on their scheduled release dates.
As Netflix does with some of its reality shows, not all the episodes will be available on the premiere date. For Age of Attraction, Netflix is splitting the first season into three parts.
There will be five episdoes available to stream on Wednesday, March 11. The sixth and seventh episodes will hit Netflix on Wednesday, March 18. Then, the season finale hits Netflix on Wednesday, Mrch 25.
There are only eight episodes in the first season, so it will feel quite a bit shorter than other Netflix shows.
Here's the full episode schedule for Age of Attraction:
- Episodes 1-5: Wednesday, March 11
- Episodes 6-7: Wednesday, March 18
- Episode 8: Wednesday, March 25
Nick Viall and Natalie Joy host Age of Attraction
Like Love is Blind, Age of Attraction also has a celebrity host, although the star power is a little bit lower than Nick and Vanessa Lachey.
The new series is hosted by Bachelor alum and podcast host Nick Viall and his wife, Natalie Joy. The couple has an 18-year age gap, so they are uniquely qualified to help these new couples along the journey.
Viall started on Andi Dorfman's season of The Bachelorette before returning for Kaitlyn Bristowe's season of The Bachelorette. He finished runner-up, meaning he was dumped on the last day, twice, before he became The Bachelor for season 21. Unfortunately, things didn't work out with the woman Viall proposed to, Vanessa Grimaldi.
Nick and Natalie started dating in 2020 before they tied the knot in 2024. Now, they're bringing their relationship experience to Netflix.
How does Age of Attraction work?
While Love is Blind removes one aspect of the "get to know you" phase of dating, Age of Attraction works in a similar way. A group of 20 single men and 20 single women aged early 20s to 60s are brought to a luxury resort in Canada to, well, date. It's not as structured as the pods in Love is Blind, but they spend a short period of time, like days, getting to know each other, going on dates, and exploring if they can move on to the next phase of the show together.
Here's the official synopsis of the series via Netflix:
"Age is thrown out the window when singles search for their soulmates, but will the years come between them? In this new dating series, hosted by Nick Viall and Natalie Joy, a group of daters will discover whether love is truly ageless."
During the dating phase, the contestants are not allowed to reveal their age to anyone, including the people they are dating. They're encouraged to follow their heart and connections.
Obviously, not telling someone your age is not the same thing as literally not seeing someone like Love is Blind, but as we'll likely find out in the series, there are some contestants who look notably older or younger than they actually are.
From there, the contestants couple up, basically, and then move in together, where they see if their age difference and connection can last the long haul. Then, they meet each other's families before deciding if they want to continue the relationship or break up.
Where is Age of Attraction filmed?
As mentioned, the first part of Age of Attraction is filmed at a resort in Canada. That resort is located in or around Whistler, British Columbia, which is a beautiful part of the country. I highly recommend it!
For the next phase of the show, the couples move into apartments in Vancouver, British Columbia. It still looks really nice, but it's not quite as nice as the first part of the show.
It's interesting that an American show picked the Vancouver area for a dating show, but there are so many productions in and around that area. It makes a lot of sense to keep costs under control in that regard. It'll be interesting to see what happens for season 2, assuming Netflix picks up the series for a new season.
We'll share more information about Age of Attraction as we find out! Watch the new series on Netflix starting on March 11.
