US dating show, Couple to Throuple, will not have a second season.
According to Deadline, Peacock has not officially cancelled the reality series, but there are no plans to continue the series at this time.
The dating show that explored the world of polyamory, followed four couples as they experimented with bringing a third partner into their relationship.
The first and only season was released in February 2024 and it was full of heartbreak, betrayal and many tears.
The hosts were Access Hollywood’s Scott Evans and sex expert Shamyra Howard.
The contestants included Brittne Babe, a celebrity personal trainer with a clientele including Jada Pinkett Smith, and Ashmal Ali, a Chicago attorney.
Set in a remote tropical resort, the couples met, mingled and dated others, many of whom were experienced in polyamory.
At the end of the show, the couples decided if they wanted more than just “the one” and whether to commit as a throuple, go home as they arrived, or leave separately.
It may still come back, technically, since it hasn’t been officially canceled, a Peacock spokesperson told the source, but “there are no plans for future seasons at this time.”
Producer Naked had experience in the space, having made BBC-Hulu doc series Planet Sex with Cara Delevingne, which included explorations of monogamy and polyamory.
NBC unscripted bosses, Corie Henson and Rachel Smith, told a TCA unscripted universe panel: “We are open, we are buying.”
The pair cited Couple to Throuple along with the returning Queen’s Court and the success of the likes of The Traitors and Love Undercover.
Meanwhile, Love Island USA has been renewed for another season (season 8) that will air next summer.
The first series of Couple to Throuple is available to watch on Peacock (NBC streaming service) in US or on Hayu in the UK.
