Perfect Match Season 3: Release date rumors, cast updates and what to expect next

Alright, let's dive into the chaos that's Perfect Match Season 3. Netflix's wild reality dating show has fans hooked with its steamy villa vibes, messy love triangles, and a cast pulled from all corners of reality TV. After Season 2 left everyone gasping, the hype for the next chapter is through the roof. Here's everything we know so far about the Perfect Match Season 3 release date, cast updates, and what to expect next. Release Date Rumours for Perfect Match Season 3
Netflix confirmed Season 3 in June 2024, hot off the heels of Season 2's finale. No exact premiere date has been spilled yet, but clues are pointing to a summer 2025 launch. A teaser during the Love Is Blind Season 8 reunion dropped a hint about 'this summer,' sparking tons of chatter. Given Season 1 hit screens in February 2023 and Season 2 rolled out in June 2024, July or August 2025 feels like a safe bet.
Word from outlets like Deadline and buzzing X posts suggests Netflix will stick with its usual drop-in-batches approach. Picture this: episodes 1–6 landing around August 1, 7–9 a week later, and the big finale capping things off by August 15. Nothing's locked in, but Reddit threads and fan discussions are eating up this timeline. Mark those calendars and keep Netflix on speed-dial. Cast Updates: Who's Joining Perfect Match Season 3?
The cast lineup is straight-up bananas this time. Perfect Match always pulls stars from the Netflix Reality Universe—think Love Is Blind , Too Hot to Handle , The Ultimatum —but Season 3's going bigger by tossing in names from outside Netflix's orbit. Here's who's confirmed to stir the pot: Amber Desiree 'AD' Smith ( Love Is Blind Season 6) and Ollie Sutherland ( Love Is Blind UK Season 1): These two shocked everyone at the Love Is Blind Season 8 reunion, revealing they're engaged and expecting a kid. They said filming Perfect Match sparked deep talks about life and love, but Nick and Vanessa Lachey made it clear their engagement doesn't mean they took home the win. Drama alert!

( ). Juliette Porter ( Siesta Key ).
( ). Quori-Tyler ( The Circle ).
( ). Scott Van-Der-Sluis ( Love Island UK).
This mix is wild— Bachelor alums like Clayton and Rachel rubbing shoulders with Love Island vets and even Juliette from Siesta Key , who's not from a dating show. X is buzzing with fans hyping Scott and Carrington's potential to bring the heat, while Reddit's got theories about Freddie Powell and J.R. Warren sparking a love triangle. Oh, and whispers about Dom Gabriel from Seasons 1 and 2 popping back in? Unconfirmed, but juicy. What to Expect from Perfect Match Season 3
The Perfect Match formula stays true: hot singles couple up, tackle compatibility challenges, and risk getting the boot if they're left solo. Winning pairs get to play cupid, bringing in new faces to mess with the vibe—expect tears, hookups, and betrayal. Nick Lachey's back hosting, keeping things rolling with that smooth charm.
This season promises heightened drama with the inclusion of non-Netflix stars. Contestants like Hannah Burns from The Mole , a competition series, and Juliette Porter from Siesta Key , a show not centered on dating, will bring unique perspectives. Fans can expect steamy hookups, heartbreak, and strategic gameplay as singles vie to be crowned the ultimate Perfect Match and split a cash prize.

The Squid Game Season 3 VIPs Were More Cringe Than Ever — Why Did Bad Line Readings Slip Through Again…?
The following contains spoilers for Season 3 of , now streaming on Netflix. Almost exactly midway through 2025, we have a candidate for TVLine's annual Dumbest Line of Dialogue of the Year 'award'. More from TVLine Squid Game Recruits Oscar Winner to Bring Series Finale to a Tantalizing Close, Tease Potential U.S. Edition Dept. Q Makes Nielsen Streaming Top 10 Debut - and With a Decidedly Older Audience Save the Dates: The Chicken Sisters Season 2, Mom on Netflix and More '!' Squid Game Season 3 VIP That goofy observation came to us courtesy of one of the golden-masked VIPs in Squid Game Season 3, now streaming on Netflix. The idea behind the VIPs, I presume, is that somebody has to finance this highly illegal and incredibly deadly underground competition that dangles a 45.6 billion won (~$34 million) jackpot and comes with a pretty pricey infrastructure (guard salary/health plans, wardrobe, single-use coffins, Velcro patches, etc). And if you're going to front the Front Man some of those greenbacks, you deserve a front row seat for the competition's final rounds. But just as much as Squid Game Season 3 masterfully ratcheted up the on-screen tension with a version of Jump Rope that got my own trick knee quaking, every iota of pent-up drama dissipated from the room each time they cut away to the masked VIPs' reactions and utterly inane commentary. 'You have the father, the mother and the baby all in the same game? I mean…,' remarked the long-haired VIP (aka TEMU Ellis from Die Hard), before he mimed his mind being blown. 'It's like watching one of those family reality shows,' sniffed the grey bearded VIP. VIP jJnnifer tittered before chiming in, 'I must say, I'm quite impressed with the player pool this time.' Squid Game's Season 3 VIPs were a different lot from those we who made us cringe during Season 1. According to the closing credits and Google Translate, David Sayers played Richard; Hong Kong native Jane Wong played Jennifer; Jordan Lambertoni played Zach; Kevin Yorn (who reportedly is series creator/writer/director Hwang Dong Hyuk's lawyer!) played, well, Kevin; and a 'Bryan Bucco' played Zach. Thing is, Squid Game auteur Hwang Dong Hyuk absolutely knows what he's doing — his directing of Season 1 won an Emmy, while his writing earned a nomination. So, why are the VIP scenes so very, very bad? They're not cartoonish in a fun way, nor do they effectively serve as social satire. The VIP scenes could have been additive to the series, if, imagine, a Stellan Skarsgård type growled a wry observation during Sky Squid Game. Or if the actors/lawyer at hand were not done so dirty by the dialogue and editing. But apparently zero lessons were learned, or cared to be learned, from Season 1. Which is… a choice? How'd Squid Game End? Our Recap of the Unusual Season-Finale Showdown View List The matter of the painfully bad VIP scenes came up at the time of Season 1's release, and the actors from that troupe offered up theories on why the dialogue and line readings made our ears want to crawl up and die. 'Non-Korean performers often act with dialogue that is translated by a non-native – sometimes even by Google Translate — so it can sound unnatural,' one Season 1 VIP told the Guardian in fall 2021. It's also possible that the person editing the footage doesn't speak English as a first language, and thus might use a poor take. 'If I was editing a Russian actor speaking Russian, I wouldn't have any idea if he was saying his lines correctly,' said the Season 1 VIP above, 'or if his intonation was natural.' A second Season 1 VIP told the Guardian that 'heavy plaster masks' plus 'sitting 20 feet away from each other' added up to: 'We all had to yell our lines vaguely into the air, which added to the weird tonality of the delivery.' To recap, the VIP scenes: Were poorly written, and poorly acted (or edited) Reliably killed tension Were not dramatic in and of themselves (e.g. the inclusion of the baby could have been a point of debate… but wasn't) Told us nothing we could not have presumed about the game's backers (e.g. they're deplorable, shallow), and Arguably made the Front Man less menacing, the way he quietly did these idiots' bidding So… why did we get them again, at the same quality level, in Season 3?

‘Cobra Kai' Creators Wanted Hilary Swank To Return For Final Season, Tease Idea They 'Can Revisit' In Franchise
As legends of the Karate Kid universe were reprised for streaming and the big screen, one former Mr. Miyagi protégé hasn't been seen in more than 30 years. Josh Heald, who co-created Netflix's Cobra Kai with Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, revealed that they attempted to get Hilary Swank to reprise her The Next Karate Kid (1994) role as Julie Pierce in the recent sixth and final season. More from Deadline Hilary Swank Stays Mum On Possible 'Cobra Kai' Appearance; Reveals Why She Returned To TV For' Alaska Daily' —TCA 'Karate Kid: Legends' Will Provide Kick To Summer Box Office But Won't KO 'Lilo & Stitch's $60M Second Weekend – Preview Martin Kove Accused Of Sexual Harassment In 2024 On 'Cobra Kai' Set; Sony Investigated, Actor Says "It Wasn't True Then & It Isn't True Now" 'We did reach out in the very early days before the season to see if there was a path [for her to appear],' he told Entertainment Weekly. 'We had an inkling of an idea about how she could come into this story and not have to commit to 10 episodes or something. The trio reached out to Swank's team with 'the beginnings of a genesis of an idea' about how Julie could return to the onscreen universe, hoping to 'have a discussion with her about it and introduce ourselves.' 'On her end, it was very respectful, but we never got that opportunity to sit down and pour our heart out the way that we typically do when we bring back characters from the legacy,' said Heald. The 2x Oscar-winning actress 'was just in a place where she wasn't looking to do that,' said Heald, adding that she gave them 'a respectful pass on the idea of even a meeting.' 'She didn't want us to go through the trouble of flying out to her and putting our heart on the sleeve,' he explained. 'Because it just wasn't something she was ready to do at that moment.' Heald sees the character as 'a big piece of the Miyagi-verse that's still out there' following this year's Karate Kid: Legends, which brought back Ralph Macchio as Daniel LaRusso, Jackie Chan's Mr. Han and William Zabka's Johnny Lawrence. 'For us, it was a little disappointing because we like getting everybody, but at the same time, we didn't sacrifice any huge story that we had fully developed,' added Heald. 'It's more fruit on the vine for if we can revisit this universe going forward.'
