“You move in together in a trial marriage, and at the end of this experience,” Vanessa said, before her husband added: “You guys will have to choose to marry the person you arrived here with or split forever. On Tuesday, Netflix released the official trailer for the series, which gave fans a first glimpse at season one’s six couples. Over an eight-week period, the pairs will date individuals from the other couples to determine whether they can see themselves marrying their significant others, or whether they will ultimately break up forever. Though the show is based on the book of the same name by John Marrs and is completely fictional, you may be wondering whether DNA matching is possible in real life.
Within each couple, there is one partner who has issued an ultimatum, while the other is unsure about the future of their relationship. Netflix’s new relationship drama series The One follows the founder of a fictional company that scientifically matches people with their perfect partner using DNA. Love Is Blind hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey, who will also be hosting the new show, first announced the upcoming series during the Love Is Blind reunion episode on 4 March, during which it was revealed that The Ultimatum will follow six couples on the brink of marriage. In April, Netflix will premiere the first season of its new show The Ultimatum : Marry or Move On, which comes from the same creators of Love Is Blind. While the relationship drama from season two of Love Is Blind is still unfolding, fans of Netflix’s dating shows will soon have a new show, and new couples, to follow.
