Netflix's hit dating competition show, Perfect Match, is back for its third season, and this time, the drama is heating up with the introduction of reality stars from outside the Netflix universe. Set to premiere on August 1, 2025, the new season promises a rollercoaster of romance, rivalries, and unexpected twists, with familiar faces from The Bachelor, Love Island, and more joining the cast.
For the first time in Perfect Match history, the show is welcoming contestants from beyond the streaming giant's own reality roster. Bachelor Nation is sending in two familiar faces: Rachel Recchia and Clayton Echard. Their history adds an extra layer of intrigue, as Echard famously dumped Recchia during the season 26 finale of The Bachelor.
Joining them from the Love Island franchise are Carrington Rodriguez, Justine Joy, Ray Gantt, and Scott Van-Der-Sluis. Rodriguez and Gantt both appeared on Love Island USA, while Joy won season 2 of the USA version. Van-Der-Sluis has appeared on both the UK and USA versions of Love Island.
But the new additions don't stop there. Juliette Porter, known from the MTV series Siesta Key, will also be vying for love in the Perfect Match villa.
Of course, Perfect Match wouldn't be complete without its usual dose of Netflix reality stars. This season welcomes Amber Desiree "AD" Smith and Madison Errichiello from Love Is Blind, Jalen Brown, Louis Russell, and Lucy Syed from Too Hot to Handle, Alex Zamora, Cody Wright, and Olivia Rae from Temptation Island, J.R. Warren and Sandy Gallagher from The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On, Daniel Perfetto from Dated & Related, Hannah Burns from The Mole, Quori-Tyler "QT" from The Circle and Battle Camp, and Freddie Powell and Ollie Sutherland from Love Is Blind: UK.
The premise of Perfect Match remains the same: singles from various reality shows gather in a tropical paradise to find love. They compete in challenges, and the most compatible couples gain the power to play matchmaker, breaking up other couples and sending them on dates with new singles. Those who fail to couple up risk elimination.
Hosted by Nick Lachey, season 3 will unfold over three weeks, with the first six episodes dropping on August 1, followed by episodes 7-9 on August 8, and the finale on August 15.
With a mix of returning favorites and fresh faces from different corners of reality TV, Perfect Match season 3 is shaping up to be the most explosive season yet.
