“The largest group of eligible virgins ever assembled” have arrived.
Hulu just revealed the cast for “Are You My First?,” a new dating reality show from the producers of “Love Island USA.”
Per the official logline, the singles are “arriving in a tropical paradise with their hearts open and their V-cards intact” where they are “free to explore their connections without judgment.”
The press release adds, “these sexy young singles embark on a heated yet heartfelt journey, packed with romantic dates, revealing challenges, and new love interests eager to find ‘the one.’ Find out who’s ready to go all the way.”
The cast includes Mike Planeta, who competed on Season 17 of “The Bachelorette,” vying for Katie Thurston. He was eliminated in week six and, during his time on the show, shared with the cast that he’s a virgin.
The new series will be hosted by former Bachelor Colton Underwood and former Bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe. Underwood, who was a virgin when leading “The Bachelor,” published a book in 2020 titled “The First Time: Finding Myself and Looking for Love on Reality TV.”
“Are You My First?” will drop all 10 episodes on Aug. 18 on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally. The series is produced by ITV America and Plimsoll Productions, with Peter Geist, David George, Adam Sher, Simon Thomas, James Barker, Grant Mansfield, Karen Plumb and Alan Eyres as executive producers. German Abarca and Kendall Elrod are co-executive producers.
