We’re spoiled for choice with dating shows now, but Netflix’s Age Of Attraction has really stirred up the genre – and there’s good news if you’re hoping for more jaw-on-the-floor viewing in the future.
The show’s premise is that age is thrown out the window, with the series testing whether love truly is ageless, or whether the years will come between singletons looking for love.
Since its release on March 11, the show has sparked plenty of reaction, with people saying it’s a wild watch… even if some of the pairings have raised eyebrows.

The age gaps are pretty wild
Daters on the show range between 22 to 59 and there’s some pretty big age gaps involved. One couple whose storyline saw lots of reaction was Theresa and John.
She admitted to the cameras that she was ‘petrified he’s too young’ for her, as her eldest child is 29, and you guessed it, John is younger than her son at a tender 27. As Theresa is 54, that’s quite the age gap.
Will there be a season two?

Netflix confirmed at the end of March that, yes, there will be another season of Age Of Attraction.
Executive producers Jennifer O’Connell and Rebecca Quinn told Tudum: ‘It’s messy, it’s real, and that’s what makes it fun to watch.
‘Huge thanks to Netflix for embracing this dating experiment with us. The response has been incredible, and we’re excited to push it even further in Season 2.’
Reality TV fans are delighted

Dozens of people reacted to the confirmation that there’ll be a second season, with one saying they’d be ‘clearing their schedule’ to watch the new episodes once they drop.
Another person said that they couldn’t ‘wait for more drama, love, and vibes.’
