What To Know
- Netflix’s Japanese same-sex reality dating show, The Boyfriend, is returning for Season 2.
- Ten new queer men will live and work together over the course of two months.
- The new season will premiere in the new year, releasing batches of episodes weekly.
Last year, Netflix’s The Boyfriend broke ground as Japan’s first same-sex reality dating series, with its participants sharing a home and finding connections with each other. Soon, Season 2 will give a new group of queer men the opportunity to do the same.
“In Season 1, we showed not just romance, but their friendship and meaningful connections with one another,” executive producer Dai Ota told Netflix. “In Season 2, we will continue to showcase their compassion and stories of growth, with more unique perspectives and backstories.”
For two months, not only will the 10 new cast members live together in the “Green Room,” but they’ll also run a coffee truck together, forming bonds against a wintertime backdrop.
