Paramount+ has confirmed the release date for Dating Naked UK season 2 as Rylan Clark returns to screens.
Dating Naked made its UK debut in 2024, featuring a group of singletons seeking to find their ideal partner. But the reality dating show comes with a major twist.
Contestants appear completely naked. The divisive dating programme originally launched in America where it proved popular with fans before making its way to Paramount+.

And it has sparked fierce debate upon its British launch due to participants appearing entirely naked. A second series is now approaching, and supporters won't be waiting much longer as Paramount+ has given a major release date update.
Dating Naked UK's second season will debut its first two episodes on Paramount+ on August 29. From then, two instalments will drop each week, totalling 10 hour-long programmes.
Presenter Rylan will once again take charge as ten fresh singles strip off in pursuit of romance. Paramount+ hints: "The UK's most drawer-dropping dating show is back! Guided by host Rylan, ten new singles are ready to shed their inhibitions and their clothes, in their search for true love."
It was previously reported that the reality dating programme had relocated for its latest run, now filming in Panama, Central America. Host Rylan earlier revealed to the Daily Star:"There are going to be some big changes.
"It's really exciting. The location is changing. What we've got lined up is going to be brilliant. There will be lots of twists and turns.
"If the daters watched the first season and think they know how the show works, they're wrong. We want to keep them on their toes. We don't want them to know what's coming next".
The debut series of the provocative programme quickly became a fan favourite and one of the most-watched shows on Paramount+.
On IMDB, an enthusiast commented: "Maybe it's just the fact that the way show everything but I like this much better than other similar shows with clothes. Them being nude adds a humorous side and it's intriguing to see how they behave."
Another viewer expressed: "I watched it because it was controversial, and surprisingly I enjoyed this show."
You can catch up with Dating Naked season one on Paramount Plus or stream it on Prime Video.

South Park begins 27th season by taking aim at Trump: ‘He can do anything to anyone'
South Park has kicked off its 27th season with a blistering episode taking aim at Donald Trump and its newly minted parent company, Paramount, just one day after signing a $1.5bn deal with the network. The premiere episode, 'Sermon on the Mount,' sees Trump in bed with series regular Satan and covers topics including Trump's lawsuit against Paramount, the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, wokeness, Trump's attacks on Canada and more. Unlike other characters, Trump is depicted as an actual photo of the US president on an animated body. There is also an extended scene featuring a hyper-realistic, deepfake video of Trump, completely naked, walking in a desert. There are repeated suggestions that Trump's genitalia is small. The episode centers on the presence of Jesus in South Park's schools, a story covered by a parody of 60 Minutes, in a clear satire of Paramount's recent embroilment with Trump over the flagship CBS News show. The two hosts refer nervously to 'the president, who is a great man' and who 'is probably watching'. When South Park's parents protest to Trump that they don't want Jesus in schools, and Trump threatens to sue them for $5bn, Jesus begs them to settle with the president. 'I didn't want to come back and be in the school, but I had to because it was part of a lawsuit and the agreement with Paramount,' Jesus says through gritted teeth. 'You guys saw what happened to CBS? Well, guess who owns CBS? Paramount. You really want to end up like Colbert? You guys got to stop being stupid... He also has the power to sue and take bribes and he can do anything to anyone. It's the fucking president, dude... South Park is over.' The townspeople eventually agree to pay Trump a much smaller $3.5m, but also must create 'pro-Trump messaging' – leading to the aforementioned video of Trump wandering in a desert, stripping naked. On Wednesday, the companies South Park Digital Studios and Park County, which are run by South Park's creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, announced a licensing deal with Paramount Global. The $1.5bn (£1.1bn) agreement confirms 50 new episodes on Comedy Central over five years, to exclusively stream on Paramount+ worldwide. The entire South Park library will also be made available on Paramount+ in the US. Dylan Byers, a senior correspondent at the media organization Puck, wrote on social media after the episode's release: 'Hard to think of anything more defiant in media & entertainment recently than Trey Parker & Matt Stone going scorched earth on Paramount in a South Park season premiere on the heels of netting a $1.5 billion deal with the very same company.' This deal also comes after recent contentious disputes involving Paramount. Skydance, which is controlled by the son of Trump ally Larry Ellison, is vying to take over Paramount Global, as well as Park Country. (Early this month Parker and Stone criticised the merger for postponing the season 27 premiere, writing: 'This merger is a shitshow and it's fucking up South Park. We are at the studio working on new episodes, and we hope the fans get to see them somehow.') The merger, however, requires the approval from the Trump-controlled Federal Communications Commission. When Paramount controversially settled a lawsuit with Trump for $16m over allegations that CBS News, which is owned by Paramount, committed 'election interference' in its editing of a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris, some critics alleged another example of capitulation by media companies hoping to curry favor with the US president. Then three days after Colbert, a high-profile critic of Trump, branded the deal 'a big fat bribe' on his late-night CBS show, Paramount and CBS announced it had cancelled the show. The South Park premiere alludes constantly to the events, with Cartman learning that his favorite radio show on NPR – where 'liberals bitch and whine about stuff' – has been cancelled by Trump. 'The government can't cancel the show. I mean, what show are they going to cancel next?' he says. Trump's character is also asked directly by Satan about the the 'Epstein list', referring to the unreleased files held by the US government relating to the convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who was friends with Trump for 15 years. A political firestorm has erupted since the Trump administration's recent decision not to release any more documents. Satan asks Trump directly if it's on the Epstein list. 'It's weird that whenever it comes up, you just tell everyone to relax,' Satan says. The Guardian has contacted the Stone, Parker and the White House for comment.

How to watch The Osbournes as beloved reality show drops on major streamer
The Osbournes first aired in 2002 and ran for four seasons Following the passing of Ozzy Osbourne at 76, devoted followers have been revisiting his family's MTV reality programme, The Osbournes. Social media enthusiasts have been circulating highlight reels on TikTok, following Sharon's heart-breaking announcement of Ozzy's death. Whilst Ozzy had some wild moments throughout his life, much of it pales in comparison to his family's reality programme. The series broadcast from 2002 to 2005, spanning four seasons. It's regarded as one of the ground-breaking programmes in the reality television realm, with family-centred shows such as The Kardashians and At Home With the Furys emerging in subsequent years, reports the Daily Star. All four seasons of The Osbournes are now available to stream on Prime Video. The programme featured Ozzy, spouse Sharon and two of their offspring Jack and Kelly. Their eldest daughter Aimee declined to participate in the programme, and relocated from the family residence when filming started. Aimee, who has avoided a life in the public eye, was obscured in family photographs featured in the programme, or excluded entirely. Years afterwards, Sharon would express remorse regarding the circumstances. She revealed on The Talk in 2018: "It broke my heart when she moved. She felt too that she didn't want to grow up on camera. She hated the idea - it was appalling to her. And so she left at 16 and I regret every day that she did." The inaugural episode's opening sequence demonstrates to viewers precisely what they'll witness – absolute mayhem. The show kicks off with daughter Kelly berating her brother, exclaiming: "Jack, stop telling people you're Ozzy Osbourne's son to get into places because you're a f****** loser!" In another snippet, Sharon declares: "I can't sit here and say I'm the next Mother Theresa... f*** no!" Finally, Ozzy makes his appearance, bellowing at the camera: "Rock and roll!" Following the hit of the show, Kelly embarked on a brief music career, while Sharon scored her own chat show in the US, The Sharon Osbourne Show. In a 2009 interview on BBC Radio 2, Ozzy confessed he was "stoned during the entire filming" of the show, hence his refusal to watch it back. The show was broadcast on MTV in the US, with swear words bleeped out. However, in the UK, on MTV and Channel 4, it aired uncensored.
