Season 2 introduces six new queer couples, all consisting of women and non-binary individuals, set against the vibrant backdrop of Miami, Florida. This marks a shift from Season 1's San Diego setting, bringing a fresh, sunny energy to the experiment. The couples are at a crossroads, with one partner ready to tie the knot and the other hesitant, leading to the titular ultimatum. Here's the lineup, as announced by Netflix: Ashley (she/her, 30) and Marita (she/her, 25) : Ashley issued the ultimatum, eager to settle down, while Marita seeks grander romantic gestures and isn't fully ready to commit. Their five-year age gap adds complexity to their dynamic.
Britney (she/her, 27) and AJ (she/her, 28) : Britney issued the ultimatum, seeking clarity on their future after years of building a life together. AJ's vision for forever is less certain.
Dayna (she/her, 25) and Magan (she/her, 27) : Dayna issued the ultimatum, hoping marriage will solidify their relationship, but Magan struggles with family acceptance of her queerness, impacting her readiness.
Haley (she/her, 29) and Pilar (she/her, 29) : Haley issued the ultimatum, drawn to Pilar's kindness and drive. Together for a decade, they've never spent a night apart, but Haley seeks a deeper commitment.
Kyle (she/her, 30) and Bridget (she/her, 28) : Kyle issued the ultimatum, envisioning a future with Bridget, who questions the need for marriage and prefers a commitment without legal ties.
Marie (she/her, 27) and Mel (she/her, 27): Marie issued the ultimatum, craving direction in their four-year relationship. Running a food truck together, they face tension as Marie pushes for marriage.
The cast's diversity and unique stories promise compelling narratives, with participants navigating personal challenges like family acceptance, commitment fears, and compatibility concerns. Fans can follow their journeys on social media, with Instagram and TikTok handles shared on Netflix's Tudum page. Who's Hosting Season 2?
JoAnna Garcia Swisher, known for Sweet Magnolias and Reba , returns as the host. Despite some criticism in Season 1 for being a straight host on a queer-focused show, Swisher's enthusiasm for celebrating queer relationships shines through. She has expressed excitement about guiding the couples through this intense experiment, emphasizing the universal nature of love and commitment. What to Expect from Season 2
The Ultimatum: Queer Love Season 2 follows the same gripping format as its predecessor. Over eight weeks, the couples will: Split Up and Date : Each partner dates other participants, exploring new connections.
Enter Trial Marriages : Couples choose new partners for a three-week trial marriage, living together to test compatibility.
Reunite with Original Partners : After the trial, they return to their original partners for another three-week trial marriage.
Make a Final Decision: Each couple decides to marry their original partner, stay with their trial partner, or walk away alone.
Set in Miami, expect vibrant settings like parasailing dates and poolside confrontations, amplifying the drama. The trailer hints at intense emotional moments, with one contestant noting, 'Lesbians are brutal,' suggesting plenty of chaos and partner-swapping. The season will delve into complex issues like family dynamics, personal growth, and the pressure of commitment, all within the queer community's unique lens.

So Far, Elon Musk's Revival of Vine Is Seriously Disappointing
For quite some time now, Elon Musk has been promising to bring back Vine. Back in the day, the short-lived TikTok precursor allowed users to post dopey 6-second videos that looped and could be easily shared. However, as the Tesla billionaire's plans for the short-form video distributor come into view, it increasingly seems like he (as per usual) got us all excited for nothing. Vine, which was purchased by Twitter in 2012, has been officially dead for a little over half a decade now. After Twitter killed uploads of the app's videos in 2016, Vine's archive subsisted for another three years or so until 2019, when the platform pulled support for it. Since then, all that has survived is a nostalgia for those halcyon days when short-form video was novel and joy-inducing, instead of being a grim staple of our increasingly frenetic information landscape. Musk initially floated the idea of bringing the video-sharing app back in 2022, not long after he purchased Twitter. Since then, he has repeatedly teased the app's return, much to the delight of site users. Last April, Musk again touched on resurrecting Vine with one of his many X polls. 'Bring back Vine?' he asked. A vast majority of respondents voted 'yes.' In January, an X user tweeted at Musk, 'think it's time to bring it back.' And the Tesla CEO personally replied, 'We're looking into it.' However, as Vine's 'return' has approached, it seems increasingly clear that the app may not be exactly how you remember it. On Monday, Musk promised that the archive of old Vine videos would return in some form. However, it seems increasingly doubtful that the app will be an active service that users can use to make new videos. Instead, Musk has implied that Grok's new AI video generator, Imagine (which, Musk has bragged, can be used to create NSFW material), will act as a replacement. 'Grok Imagine is AI Vine!' Musk wrote, in an X post on Saturday. Little other information was shared, but it left onlookers with the sad suspicion that the new Vine won't resemble the fun-fueled video clips of yesteryear and will be more about repackaging the AI-generated porn slop that's taking over everyone's feeds uninvited. Is Musk saying that Grok Imagine is the new Vine? Or will a new version of Vine be launched by X, alongside the archive of old videos? It's all unclear at the moment. If the resurrection of Vine just ends up being Grok's AI video app, with Musk dubbing it a 'return' of Vine, then we will all have been taken for a ride, once again. Gizmodo reached out to X for more information. That said, it's not like anybody really needs Vine now. The app occupies a peculiar spot in American tech history, in that it predated many other short-form video services that have gone on to become ubiquitous by copying its business model (see: Reels and TikTok). Yet despite being a pioneer in the category of apps whose primary societal contribution has been the shrinking of our collective attention span, it seems to have found success just a little too early. After Twitter's acquisition of the app, it enjoyed a few good years before confronting a boom of those competitor apps that ultimately outpaced it.

Sofia Carson And Corey Mylchreest Take A Costar Test
It's no secret that Sofia Carson and Corey Mylchreest have been in some truly beloved projects over the years. From their respective work in the Descendants franchise to Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, they've charmed audiences for years. And now, they are starring together in a new romance movie on Netflix called My Oxford Year. My Oxford Year follows Anna (Carson), who attends Oxford for a year in order to fulfill her lifelong dream before starting an ambitious finance job. However, Oxford has more to offer than just classes, books, and stunning landscapes when she meets Jamie Davenport (Mylchreest), and their lives both change forever. So, to celebrate their new movie, we had Sofia and Corey put their chemistry to the test behind the scenes with this Costar Test where they see how well they actually know each other. Right out of the gate, Sofia and Corey both knew exactly what each other's go-to snack on set was, with Corey really getting it down to the smallest details. And they both knew exactly what romance movies are their absolute favorites, with Corey's being Crazy, Stupid, Love. and Sofia's being Love Story. While Sofia couldn't quite nail down Corey's birthday, he tried to help her as best as he could. And, spoiler, Corey knew Sofia's right down to the year and her astrological sign. Honestly, the whole thing was so charming and made me hope Sofia and Corey find a way to work together again after My Oxford Year.
