The viral YouTube show, now turned livestream event, will premiere on April 10 at 9pm.

Hosted by the ever-charming Yvonne Orji, this live version of the beloved series promises even more drama, laughs, and, of course, romance.

With its quirky premise, the show became a viral hit, racking up over 50 million views on YouTube, and inspiring countless TikTok reactions, and even an SNL parody.

Now, the online streaming giant is levelling up the fun with real-time eliminations, celebrity appearances, and all the unpredictability of live television.

For the uninitiated, the show is a need-dating series where love, or rejection (which happens in a single pop of the balloon) occurs.

Contestants hold red balloons, which they can either pop to signal disinterest in a suitor, or keep intact if they see the potential for romance. But there’s a twist: the bachelor or bachelorette at the centre of the action can pop balloons, too!

The last suitor left holding their balloon has the chance to explore a new connection, or risk going home deflated.

The Netflix adaptation will follow this same format but with exciting new twists.
