Another queer reality dating show? Yes, please!
While we may not have gotten an LGBTQ+ version of the original Bachelor series yet, the streamers are starting to deliver with shows of their own. It was announced this week that Paramount+ will be the latest place to see non-heteros looking for love with the arrival of Love Allways this summer.
Love Allways will follow Lexi Paloma over ten episodes as she gets to know a slew of potential suitors — of all genders — competing for her affection.
As an added twist, the contestants will be split up into teams and work with mentors, Spicy Mari and Anthony Recenello, who are also in competition with one another to get Paloma to ultimately choose someone from their team at the end of the show. The two will serve as “relationship gurus” to help guide the pansexual bachelorette on her quest for love.
Paloma, a TikToker, also shared the news with her followers, writing, “This is not real. I have a TV show coming out on Paramount. Stream it in June for pride month.”
Many of the contestants appear to be influencers as well, as the Deadline announcement noted that the remainder of the cast will include Sienna Scibird, Jasmine Cervantes, Kalysta Mallory, Camille Cupid, Rylin Utah, Jayme Aiden, Cyprien Boustiha, Marc Bateman, Tyler Hearing, Luis Diaz, Brian Batesy, Joshua Cureton and Cameron James.
The show will open with three episodes dropping on June 2, before switching to weekly releases to finish out the season. It will be streaming on both Paramount+ and Awesomeness on YouTube.
