Perfect Match Season 3: Release Date, Cast, and Latest News
Perfect Match season 3 is almost here–but with a surprising twist.
In the past, the reality series brought together the most iconic and beloved single stars from across the Netflix universe for another chance at finding love. On season 2, for example, Love Is Blind's Jessica Vastel and Too Hot to Handle's Harry Jowsey found love and set the internet ablaze. Unfortunately that relationship didn't last long. Jowsey later said that his stint on Dancing With the Stars contributed to their breakup.
But this year the show will look different. For the first time ever, contestants will be plucked from reality shows across networks, from ABC's The Bachelorette to Peacock's Love Island. Once the singles couple up, the pair voted 'most compatible' by their peers will be given the power to break up other couples or send them on dates with brand-new singles.
Filmed last year, season 3 already has a successful couple in Ollie and AD, who announced their engagement during the finale of Love Is Blind season 8 and recently revealed they are expecting their first child.
But when does Perfect Match season 3 premiere? And who are the new singles? Here's everything we know so far.
The first six episodes of Perfect Match season 3 will drop on August 1. Episodes 7 through 9 will premiere on August 8, and the final episode will premiere on August 15.
Nick Lachey, former 98 Degrees lead singer and cohost of Love Is Blind, will return as the host for Perfect Match.

Kirk Cousins on Falcons drafting Penix: 'I had no reason to leave Minnesota'
In an episode of Netflix's 'Quarterback' series, Cousins discussed his frustration with the Falcons drafting Michael Penix Jr. Season 2 of Netflix's "Quarterback" series was released on Tuesday, and it's definitely worth a watch if you're an Atlanta Falcons fan. The show follows three quarterbacks -- Kirk Cousins, Jared Goff and Joe Burrow -- throughout the ups and downs of the 2024 NFL season. While Goff and Burrow both had great seasons for their respective teams, Cousins had a year that he'd probably like to forget. After spending six seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, Cousins signed a four-year, $180 million contract with the Falcons in free agency. One month later, the veteran quarterback was shocked to see Atlanta draft Michael Penix Jr. with the eighth overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft. Apparently, Cousins had no idea the team planned to select a quarterback. The show provided some insight into how it all went down, with the veteran QB giving his honest reaction to the news. "It felt like I had been a little bit misled or certainly if I had had the information around free agency, it would have affected my decision," said Cousins. "I had no reason to leave Minnesota, as much as we loved it there, if both teams were drafting a quarterback high." While this is certainly a fair point and likely would have altered Cousins' decision in free agency, nobody made him leave Minnesota. The Vikings attempted to re-sign Cousins but reportedly weren't willing to offer him a fourth year. Plus, the fact that Minnesota had planned to draft a quarterback made Cousins feel it was time to move on. However, the Falcons fell in love with Penix during the pre-draft process, and when he was available at pick No. 8, they didn't hesitate to pull the trigger. Cousins' reaction was understandable, and many veteran quarterbacks would have felt the same way. With that said, Atlanta had every right to do what was best for the team. Even if the move alienated Cousins, the team guaranteed him $100 million. Most players never sniff that kind of money in their NFL careers. Plus, Cousins made that much for just 14 games of work last season. This is why the Falcons aren't in a rush to do Cousins any favors, such as outright releasing him just so he can play elsewhere in 2025. The Falcons were heavily criticized at the time for drafting Penix, but it proved to be the right move as Cousins' play was wildly inconsistent. After leading the team to a 6-3 start, Cousins had the worst four-game stretch of his career, passing for one touchdown and eight interceptions while losing all four games. Despite leading the team to a win over the lowly Las Vegas Raiders in Week 15, the Falcons benched Cousins and went to Penix for the final three games. The former Washington standout showed a ton of promise and will go enter the season as the undisputed starter at quarterback. Cousins' contract has made him tough to trade, and the lack of a market for quarterbacks has limited his potential options. For now, the Falcons seem content keeping Cousins on the roster to back up Penix. - Make sure to check out our latest Falcons 53-man roster projection for the 2025 NFL season.

'My Life with the Walter Boys' season 2 trailer is here with more love triangle drama
To say that Jackie Howard (Nikki Rodriguez) was dealing with a lot at the end of the first season of Netflix's YA hit "My Life with the Walter Boys" is an understatement. The finale saw our plucky protagonist dealing with not only a love confession by Alex Walter (Ashby Gentry) but also a smooch from his brother, Cole (Noah LaLonde). No wonder Jackie took off for New York City to clear her head and her heart, as seen in the official trailer for the second season of the coming-of-age drama, which is set to be released on Thursday, August 28 on the streaming service. Netflix dropped a first look at the new episodes that shows Rodriguez's character back on the busy streets of Manhattan for summer, understandably with quite a lot on her mind. 'I spent all summer spiraling about how and why I left,' we hear via voiceover. 'I don't belong anywhere anymore.' However, Katherine Walter (Sarah Rafferty) — the best friend of Jackie's late mother — assures her that she belongs back in Silver Falls, Colorado, where Katherine, her husband George (Marc Blucas) and their children (including Alex and Cole) live. So off to Colorado Jackie goes, where she will contend with a newly glowed-up Alex as well as his equally appealing bro. Actor Ashby Gentry recently discussed Alex's "story of discovery" in season 2 with People magazine: 'Alex was 15 in season 1 and he's 16 in the second season, and they go through all of those experiences that kids go through for the first time. A lot of season 1 was a novel experience, whereas season 2, at least for Alex, is a story of discovery." 'They're trying to figure out who they are and where they fit in the world and what do they want with each other, with everything that lies beyond high school and the greater scheme of life,' he continued of the characters. 'It's slightly more intense, as I've said, and it's really about them trying new things.' Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The 25-year-old performer also discussed how Alex will navigate his feelings toward Jackie in the new eps, saying his character "doesn't know how to handle what happened and is figuring out how to handle that. And he tries new things, and some of them work and some of them don't. There are two tragedies in life, either you don't get what you want or you get exactly what you want, and Alex experiences both in season 2." Tom's Guide will keep you posted on all things related to "My Life with the Walter Boys," not only with the second season but the third as well, which has already been greenlit by Netflix ahead of the season 2 premiere later this summer.

Meghan Markle & Prince Harry Lay off More Staff To Save Money, Says ‘Source'
and are reportedly cutting down on their staff in a bid to save money. Sources exclusively told Page Six that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have let go of their comms team to focus as they run out of money. However, this report comes a few weeks after insiders shared that the couple downsized their staff, parting ways with a few employees, including in-house reps. Weeks after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly let key staff members go, the couple are allegedly making more cuts. According to Page Six's exclusive report, the couple's focus on saving money amid the financial crisis has left them with a choice of laying off their comms team. The pair has also lost up to 25 staff members since they stepped down from their royal duties in 2020. Page Six also reported that a few of these layoffs haven't been made public yet. In June, sources revealed that four important staff members parted ways with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. These include Kyle Boulia, the deputy U.S. press secretary, and Charlie Gipson, the longtime U.K. media liaison. Deesha Tank, Archewell's communications director, and Lianne Cashin, former operations head at Archewell, among others, also bid their farewell. A royal source revealed that Prince Harry and Markle's decision to let go of staff is an 'old story.' The insider continued, 'They cycle through staff as quickly as normal people cycle through toilet paper. Milk lasts longer than their employees.' The couple's professional successes with Netflix's 'Harry & Meghan' docuseries and 'With Love, Meghan' aren't enough to keep up with their increasing expenses. As per Page Six's report, they took out a $9.5 million mortgage and put up a $5 million deposit to purchase their $14.65 million home after their move to the U.S. They reportedly have to pay a property tax amounting to $288,000 alongside paying a portion of their 'faux foreign tours,' and footing their staff's bill. As of now, Meredith Maines reportedly serves as the pair's chief communications officer. A source previously shared that Prince Harry and his wife's move isn't a 'strategy' but a way of survival.
