TEXAS: 'The Ultimatum' lovers, get ready as Netflix's weirdest dating series is returning with a new 10-episode season starring an all-queer ensemble. Fans will meet five couples made up entirely of women and non-binary persons who are trying to decide whether to take the next step in their relationships or call it quits.
Love Is Blind's sister show, 'The Ultimatum: Marry Or Move On', premiered in 2022 as a romantic experiment show. The first season highlighted male-female couples who were at a crossroads in their relationships, a premise that would be carried over to the follow-up show, 'The Ultimatum: Queer Love'. Pairs are split up before dating within their group on the program, and then new pairs are formed at the "choice."

The new partners then live together for a few weeks before the original couples get back together. At the end of the program, couples decide whether to remain together and pursue marriage, or to split and either remain single or depart with someone else. Sam and Aussie are one of the couples that are eager to put their relationship to the test and see if they would leave the show with the person they came in with.
