The Cast of 'Perfect Match' Season 2: Your Guide
Meet the Netflix reality stars looking for love.
It's almost time for the return of the mother of all Netflix reality shows: Perfect Match season 2 is on the horizon. The series, which first premiered in February 2023, is the streaming giant's answer to Love Island and Bachelor in Paradise, as it gathers single alumni from its unscripted shows to flirt and compete for a chance to find their perfect match. Pairings come together and break up with alarming speed as a regular rotation of new singles cycle through the house, testing established couples and prompting chaos. At the end of the season, the couple voted as the "perfect match" walks away with a romantic, all-expenses-paid vacation.
The season 2 cast shows how big Netflix's reality offerings have gotten, as the producers have found compelling stars from every corner of the platform. (Seriously, raise your hand if you caught Surviving Paradise or Dated and Related.) Some of this year's singles are even coming in with a lot of history between them; look at the returns of Dom Gabriel (yes, the now-single season 1 winner) and Harry Jowsey (who also dated Dom's former girlfriend from the season 1 cast of Perfect Match.
Read on to meet the 22 singles who have joined the Perfect Match season 2 cast, including whether they share any romantic history outside the villa.
