Netflix’s “Age of Attraction” is celebrating its second anniversary.
A dating show that proves age really is just a number has been renewed for a second season on the streamer.
Hosted by 45-year-old “Bachelor” alum Nick Viall and his wife Natalie Joy, 27, “Age of Attraction” follows 40 single men and women, ranging in age from 22 to 60, as they search for love across generations. The only question they are not allowed to ask each other is “How old are you?”
Season 1 of the love experiment launched on Netflix on March 11 and had eight one-hour episodes. It debuted on the streamer’s English TV Top 10 chart.
A special reunion episode of the podcast “The Viall Files” will be released on Wednesday, updating viewers on the status of the surviving couples in the series, which was filmed over a year ago.
“We love a concept that’s impossible to look away from, and Age of Attraction nailed it from day one,” said Jennifer O’Connell and Rebecca Quinn, executive producers and co-founders of Velvet Hammer Media. “It’s messy, it’s real, and it’s fun to watch. We’re hugely grateful to Netflix for embracing this dating experiment with us. The response has been incredible, so we’re excited to take it even further in season two.”
The series will be executive produced by O’Connell, Quinn, Sean Dean and David Friedman. The production company is Velvet Hammer Media, whose credits include HBO Max’s “Ruby & Jody: Cult of Sin and Influence,” The CW’s “The Big Bakeover,” and Roku’s “Empty Nest Refresh” and “Best Bite Wins.”
