CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA: 'The Ultimatum: South Africa' will premiere on Friday, May 10. After the massive success of the US, France and the 'Queer Love' versions, Netflix brings six couples from South Africa to put their relationship to the test.

Netflix's dating series will see couples swap partners, thus putting their relationship to the test. The tension in the series will be at its peak as the pairs on the verge of a major relationship change are asked to break up and date other people.

At the end of the dating series, not all original couples reconcile their relationship returns, with some ending up married, splitting up, or continuing dating other people from the show. The Netflix show will be filled with drama, romance, tears, heartbreaks, misunderstandings and explosive fights.

What is 'The Ultimatum: South Africa' about?

'The Ultimatum: South Africa' will not follow the usual format of the dating show. In the Netflix show, one partner who was ready for marriage will issue an ultimatum to their partner who has doubts about taking a trip down the aisle and saying 'I do'.

During the experiment, the six couples will break their longtime relationships and spark romance with their co-stars. They will choose one person to enter into a trial marriage with, putting their love lives through the wringer as new relationships form and old relationships hang on by a thread.

After the trial marriage is completed, couples will enter into a second trial marriage with their original partner where they have to decide if they want to continue their relationship or split. After the decision day, the couples will reunite for a reunion to discuss the explosive drama and share the latest updates on their lives.
