When will 'Perfect Match' be out on Netflix? Here's the full release schedule for new dating show
Lauren "LC" Chamblin
LC is no stranger to the battle for love. The recruiter dated Matthew "Barnett" Barnett before he proposed to Amber Pike in 'Love Is Blind' Season 1. And, despite being the last to enter the villa, she hopes she does not get caught up in another love triangle this time.
Francesca Farago
This early Lana rival made history by breaking the rules first — and then breaking them again and again with future lover (then Ring Pop fiancé) Harry Jowsey. After they split up, Francesca became involved with another Netflix star: 'Love Is Blind' star Damian Powers, with whom she formed a tentative bond in Season 1's 'After the Altar' reunion. This influencer is now willing to prove she isn't the villain, telling Tudum that "it’s hard watching [Too Hot to Handle] back, but then I feel like I grow as a person."
Diamond Jack
Diamond immediately demonstrated that love isn't always blind. She and ex-fiancé, Carlton Morton, ended their romance amid an ugly quarrel during their romantic retreat in Season 1 of the show. However, this former NBA dancer has moved on and is looking for another ring - one that won't wind up at the bottom of a pool this time.
Joey Sasso
Circle, send a message: Joey is back! Joey is eager to settle down and spend his prize money on the girl of his dreams after winning 'The Circle' Season 1 with his extroverted nature and a particular New York charm. However, will his ideal partner be closer than he realizes?
Abbey Humphreys
Abbey, a native Texan, is open to love from any place after rocky on-screen romances with cast mates Adam Davenport and Kamari Bonds ('Twentysomethings: Austin'). But this divorcee will not lower her standards for anyone, man or woman.
Nick Uhlenhuth
Is it you, Daddy Nick? While he did not win 'The Circle,' this player ran circles around his fellow Season 3 finalists, even adopting numerous profiles at one point. Now he's on the lookout for someone who can match his, erm, Big Nick Energy.
Will Richardson
This Thor impersonator is both beautiful and intelligent. His triumph in 'The Mole' proves this. Now, this uber-competitive brand manager is bringing his winning technique to 'Perfect Match,' and he's not going to be held back by his feud with former cast mate Dom.
Ines Tazi
Ines has traveled all the way from the City of Love and is eager to find love. Ines, who was catfishing as one in Season 1 of 'The Circle France', is now single and seeking the type of intense relationship that can't be created over a screen.
Mitchell Eason
He's hunting for his ferking bride, you understand? This Pennsylvania native is most known for revealing himself as a virgin in Season 2 of 'The Circle,' but after a six-month separation from Chloe, he's returned to our screens to declare his genuine thoughts.
Anne-Sophie Petit-Frere
This 'Selling Tampa' real estate magnate has been incredibly successful in every facet of her life — except love. However, Anne-Sophie is off to Panama to find a man who is as determined as she is and, hopefully, doesn't need to split her commissions.
Chloe Veitch
This reality TV veteran has tried everything to find The One. In Season 1 of 'Too Hot to Handle,' she tried it on with Bryce, Kori and David, even kissing the latter through a strawberry to get over Lana's regulations. When that didn't work, Chloe joined 'The Circle' Season 2 and spent weeks flirting with suspected catfish Mitchell behind a screen before eventually dating him post-show. How will the Essex native react when she discovers that her ex is looking for his 'Perfect Match' as well?
Shayne Jansen
Shayne certainly raised some heads on Season 2 of 'Love Is Blind,' being embroiled in a massive love triangle with Shaina Hurley and Natalie Lee before being rejected at the altar. However, after having some time to work on himself, this realtor hopes to find someone who makes him feel the spark, just as Natalie once did.
Colony Reeves
This Allure Realty blonde from 'Selling Tampa' has previously flirted with one of her clients, gorgeous Cho. Colony is searching for someone to go house hunting with after finding him the right home.
Dom Gabriel
While this artiste may have been "too nice" for the relaunch of the competition show 'The Mole,' Dom is entering 'Perfect Match' with an open heart. And, despite his appearance as a punk rock Greek god, this romantic is searching for a mate who can share his nerdier interests such as anime and comic books.
Bartise Bowden
'Love Is Blind' Season 3's Bartise is alone and eager to alter things after splitting from his prospective fiancée Nancy Rodriguez at the altar and getting yelled at by her friends, family and many fans on Twitter. Only time will tell if this senior analyst is indeed ready to settle down – no pods in sight this time.
Zay Wilson
Zay's path to love has not been easy. On Season 1 of 'The Ultimatum,' he put his relationship with Rae Williams to the test, briefly dating another participant, Shanique Imari before the two parted. He's now entering 'Perfect Match' without an ultimatum and eager to test the waters.
Damian Powers
Damian's love life has been anything but simple. His 'Love Is Blind' ex Giannina Gibelli informed him on television worldwide that he wasn't the "best sex of [her] life," and his romance with Francesca Farago added to the turmoil. Damian is ready to take his friendship with Francesca to the next level now that he has fully moved on from Giannina.

Izzy Fairthorne
This 'Too Hot to Handle' alum isn't one to play by the rules. In fact, she's one of the most heinous offenders Lana has ever seen. Izzy has come to see if her 'Perfect Match' will be just as rebellious as her fellow Season 3 contestants, Jackson Mawhinney and Truth DuVaun.

Now she's ready to apply what she's learned in 'Perfect Match' to find her partner.
