'The Ultimatum' Netflix Release Date, Couples And What To Expect

The Ultimatum: Marry Or Move On is the new dating show set to hit Netflix. Hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey the series focuses on the romantic journeys of six couples as they take part in an intriguing dating experiment.

From the creators of Love Is Blind, the series is tipped to be the next big reality series for the streaming platform.

But as with any new series, viewers will be wondering what The Ultimatum: Marry Or Move On is about, when the release date is, and who is taking part in the latest Netflix experiment.

Well, look no further, as Newsweek has all the details on the new series and what is in store for Netflix subscribers.

What Is Netflix's The Ultimatum: Marry Or Move On About?

The Ultimatum: Marry Or Move On is an exciting new dating show exclusively premiering on Netflix in April, 2022.

In the series, six different couples (on the brink of marriage) from across America participate in the experiment of a lifetime.

While one partner in the relationship is ready to get married, the other is not sure they are ready to settle down yet, and thus their bond is put to the test.

During the course of eight weeks, these couples will get to know the other individuals in the group—who they are also compatible with—before being given an ultimatum.

Individuals will spend three weeks with a new partner and another three weeks with the person they arrived with, to give them a glimpse of two very different potential futures.

At the end of the experiment, everyone must either commit to marriage or move on forever. Of course, along the way there will be trials and tribulations.

But what the Netflix show boils down to is enabling the participants to discover what they really want for themselves.
