On Tuesday, Netflix released the official trailer forthe new series, which comes from the creators ofLove Is Blind.

Rounding out the couples areApril, 23, andJake, 26, who have been dating for two years and April issued the ultimatum;Rae, 24, andZay, 25, who have been dating for two-and-a-half years and Rae issued the ultimatum; andLauren, 26, andNate, 30, who have been dating for two-and-a-half years and Nate issued the ultimatum.
“I just cannot wait any longer,” one woman tells her partner. “That is why I’m giving you an ultimatum.”
“You’re not sure you want to marry your current partner,” cohostNick Lacheysays to the group. “The risk is that they’re gonna find someone else who is.”
As the 10-episode series unfolds, viewers will get to watch the pairs as they begin a relationship with a new potential partner from one of the other couples. At the end of the eight-week experience, the couples must decide to get married or split forever.
“You move in together in a trial marriage, and at the end of this experience,” cohostVanessa Lacheysays in the clip before her husband chimes in with, “You guys will have to choose to marry the person you arrived here with or split forever.”
The couples initially have mixed opinions about the experiment, with one of the women noting in the clip, “I think it’s natural to wonder what it would be like to be in a different relationship.”
But as time goes on, walls are broken down, emotions unleash and tensions run high.
“We came here as a couple but it’s about what’s best for us as individual people,” one of the men says in the trailer.

“Should I just stay with you because you’re crying and I feel bad or should I look out for what I really want in life?” asks another man.
