Perfect Match is a reality dating series created by Chris Coelen and produced by Kinetic Content. It premiered on Netflix on February 14, 2023. The series features contestants from other Netflix reality shows who pair up and compete in challenges. As they compete to form relationships, the most compatible couples will play matchmaker, breaking up other couples and sending them on dates with brand-new singles they'll invite to the villa. The series is hosted by Nick Lachey. Perfect Match has received mostly positive reviews from critics. The series has also been praised for its inclusion of three bisexual cast members, bucking the trend of reality dating shows featuring exclusively heterosexual couples. Format 10 single Netflix alums arrive in a tropical villa where they attempt to match themselves into couples. The couples who win "compatibility challenges" get a private date and the ability to choose two new singles to bring into the game by either setting them up on a date with members of the other couples, or with themselves. Once the daters all have returned, the participants will match themselves all over again, and at the end of each night, anyone without a match must leave the villa. At the end of the series, only one couple will be chosen as the "Perfect Match." Production Filming Filming of Season One took place in Playa Bonita, Panama City, Panama, during March 2022, before Season 3 of Love is Blind and The Mole had aired. Reception Viewership Variety reported that "the Kinetic Content-produced series, featuring figures from some of the streamer's other popular shows like "Love Is Blind" and "Too Hot to Handle," debuted at No. 2 on the English-language TV chart during the Feb. 13–19 viewing window" with "over 24 million hours viewed."
