Launched as a spinoff of “The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On,” Netflix’s “The Ultimatum: Queer Love” just dropped its final episodes of Season 2 on July 2. With the second installment complete, diehard fans likely already know the relationship outcomes of the six couples—AJ and Britney, Haley and Pilar, Kyle and Bridget, Mel and Marie, Ashley and Marita, and Dayna and Magan. The streamer hasn’t announced a renewal for a third season just yet, but good news could be on the horizon. “Queer Love” received its Season 2 renewal less than one week after Season 1 debuted.
For those hoping for a chance to get cast on “The Ultimatum: Queer Love” or a similar show, you’ve come to the right place. From audition advice to reality TV shows that are currently looking for talent, this guide covers it all.

Hosted by JoAnna Garcia Swisher (“Sweet Magnolias”), this so-called social experiment follows each season’s chosen couples as they grapple with one decision: get married or break up. As with its predecessor, “Marry or Move On,” “Queer Love” features long-term couples where one partner wants to get married and the other can’t bring themselves to commit. Once the experiment begins, each pair has eight weeks to determine if they will marry or split.
These couples test their commitment by entering into three-week trial marriages with another cast member. After that, the couples enter into another three-week trial marriage with their original partner, testing the waters to make an informed decision. At the end, each couple must reveal whether they will continue their relationship as is, pursue marriage, or split up. The season concludes with a reunion, where fans can catch up on how their favorite couples fared in the aftermath of the show.
Season 1 was filmed in or around San Diego, while Season 2’s cast was based in Miami. This means if the show gets picked up for another season, it’s likely to change locations.
Donna A. Driscoll (“Married at First Sight”) and Kira Coplin (“Basketball Wives”) are the casting directors behind “The Ultimatum: Queer Love.” As the CD of Netflix’s “Love Is Blind,” Driscoll revealed the secrets to getting cast on one of the streamer’s reality series and how to stand out during the audition process.
