'The Ultimatum: Queer Love' Is Getting a Second Season and Fans Are Ready for More

After its premiere in May 2023, The Ultimatum: Queer Love proved to exceed expectations among viewers. The spin-off series to The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On follows five LGBTQ+ couples on the brink of breaking up, and the only way to stay together is to get engaged by the end of the series. Or, they can opt to leave with a new partner.

With a high-stakes premise, the drama-fueled show captivates straight and queer audiences alike. So, naturally, fans were already wondering about the probability of a second season before the first had even ended. If fans have anything to say about it, a second season of The Ultimatum: Queer Love will be here before you know it, and Netflix released some details about the future of The Ultimatum: Queer Love.

Immediately following Season 1 of The Ultimatum: Queer Love, Netflix did not released any information about whether The Ultimatum: Queer Love had received the green light for Season 2. However, since then, the streaming platform announced solid plans for a second installment.

The inaugural season concluded with Episodes 9 and 10 on June 8, 2023, and at the time, the buzz was nowhere near dying down. And after the enlightening reunion and subsequent post-show updates posted by Netflix, viewers are still incredibly invested in what each cast member is up to following the series. In fact, many fans took to social media to praise the series for being even more captivating than the flagship Ultimatum show.

While the show's success rate was low on the relationship front — only one of the original couples remains together — Queer Love offers much-needed representation for queer women and non-binary folk in the reality television realm.

Netflix now has the opportunity to continue providing a platform for LGBTQ+ individuals to share their love stories. Season 2 features couples made up of women and non-binary individuals who are ready to test their relationships.

The streaming service has the power to offer more queer-centric storylines to its overly-saturated straight reality series repertoire, meaning it would be in Netflix’s best interest to renew Queer Love for Season 2 and improve on its shortcomings.

Fans of The Ultimatum: Queer Love undoubtedly noticed that filming occurred quite some time before its premiere.

When ex-partners Vanessa Papas and Xander Boger spoke with Bustle ahead of the premiere, they revealed that the LGBTQ+ marriage experiment took place between September and November 2021. A second installment could follow a similar timeline, meaning fans wouldn’t expect a new season until 2025. However, based on the show’s popularity, it would behoove the streaming service to work in a timely fashion.

While the details on the second season of The Ultimatum: Queer Love are still sparse, Netflix did release a filming location. According to the outlet, Season 2 is based in Miami, Fla. and spans 10 episodes. While that doesn't give fans much more to work with, it does mean the show continues, and right now, that's really all that matters, right?

All episodes of The Ultimatum: Queer Love are now streaming on Netflix.
