Leveraging their personal experience with age-gap relationships, “The Bachelor” alum Nick Viall and his wife, Natalie Joy, (hosts of “The Viall Files”) are set to co-host another project, Netflix’s newest social-experiment dating series, “Age of Attraction.” The show aims to discover if a true connection can transcend generational differences by challenging singles to date without knowing each other’s actual ages.
The eight-episode season will premiere on March 11, 2026, with a staggered rollout: part 1 (Episodes 1–5) on March 11, part 2 (Episodes 6–7) on March 18, and the season finale (Episode 8) on March 25.
Filmed against the scenic backdrops of Whistler and Vancouver, British Columbia, the series follows daters aged 22–60. Here’s everything we know about this new reality dating series.

Labeled as a “dating experiment,” Netflix’s “Age of Attraction” wants to go beyond the “love is blind” trope and determine if it’s ageless, too. Sam Dean (“Love Is Blind”) and David Friedman (“Temptation Island”) will serve as showrunners on a reality dating show that completely throws age out the window. Contestants are 22 to 60 years old, but their ages will remain under wraps, emphasizing relationship building without the stigma that often comes with age-gap dating. While contestants will certainly keep each other guessing, viewers will likely become hooked as they watch bonds form between daters who might’ve otherwise snubbed each other because of their age.
Russell Berman of Pitman Casting is currently attached to the project. The known reality TV CD has also cast other dating competition shows, including ABC’s “The Golden Bachelor” and “Blind Date.” Check out our guide on how to get on reality TV to potentially secure your spot on the “Age of Attraction” cast should the show get renewed for Season 2.
