Netflix’s fan-favorite queer dating experiment is back—and this time, the stakes (and drama) are higher than ever.
The Queer Love Experiment Continues
Two years after making LGBTQ+ reality history, The Ultimatum: Queer Love returns to Netflix for Season 2 on June 25. The series once again places six queer couples in the hot seat—asking the ultimate question: get married or move on?
Hosted once again by JoAnna Garcia Swisher, the show dares couples to split up, partner with someone new in a trial marriage for three weeks, and then reunite to decide whether love wins or it’s time to walk away. The results? Often tender, sometimes explosive, and always queer as hell.
Here’s your first look at the couples navigating love, commitment fears, and plenty of emotional whiplash this season.
AJ & Britney
Ultimatum Issuer: Britney (she/her)
Age: 27 & 28
Britney, a nurse turned entrepreneur, is all-in on forever. AJ, her partner and an MC/administrative assistant, isn’t so sure. “I want clarity on where we are going,” says Britney. But AJ is wondering if they’re really aligned on the same future.
Haley & Pilar
Ultimatum Issuer: Haley (she/her)
Age: Both 29
College sweethearts Haley and Pilar are inseparable—until marriage gets brought up. Haley is ready for a lifelong commitment, while Pilar wrestles with the idea that marriage is a “social construct,” not to mention her family’s lack of acceptance of their relationship.
Kyle & Bridget
Ultimatum Issuer: Kyle (she/they)
Age: 30 & 28
Kyle knows they’re ready to put a ring on it—but Bridget, a bartender and writer, doesn’t see the point of legal vows. Still, the love is there, and Kyle is holding out hope for a unified vision of their future.
Mel & Marie
Ultimatum Issuer: Marie (she/her)
Age: Both 27
This food truck power couple is facing a fork in the road. Marie is eager to take the next step, while Mel feels there’s still work to do before forever becomes now. “We need a few things in order first,” Mel says.
Dayna & Magan
Ultimatum Issuer: Dayna (she/her)
Age: 25 & 27
Dayna wants to level up their relationship, but Magan is struggling with setting boundaries and family tensions around her identity. It’s not just about romance—it’s about building a future where she feels fully seen and supported.
Ashley & Marita
Ultimatum Issuer: Ashley (she/her)
Age: 30 & 25
Ashley is tired of waiting to be chosen. Marita, meanwhile, is holding out for the passion and intimacy she feels is missing. “I am not ready to settle for less than I deserve,” Marita shares.
