Netflix’s “Perfect Match” is back for Season 4, and for the first time ever, a member of the Bravosphere is joining the reality dating show: “Vanderpump Rules” alum Ally Lewber. The season will premiere on the streamer on May 13, with episodes rolling out each Wednesday across three weeks.
“Perfect Match” follows singles as relationships evolve and connections form in a “tropical paradise where romance and strategy collide,” per the show’s official logline. “The most compatible couples gain power, stepping into the role of matchmaker by breaking up other pairs and inviting new singles into the house for dates. Will their choices lead to stronger connections or ignite chaos?” Only one couple can be crowned the Perfect Match.
While the hit show has historically brought together fan favorite singles from Netflix’s robust slate of reality programming like “Love Is Blind” and “Too Hot to Handle,” now, they’ve extended the scope to personalities from hit shows outside the platform. Enter Lewber, who first made her reality TV debut on Season 10 of “Vanderpump Rules” as the then-girlfriend of James Kennedy. (Lewber confirmed the two split in January 2025.) An astrologer off-screen, this will be the first dating show the now-Charleston, South Carolina-based star has been on.
Lewber joins singles across a wide range of reality shows, from Alison Ogden of “Building the Band” to Mackenzie Bellows of “Squid Game: The Challenge.” “Too Hot to Handle” leads with the number of past contestants, including Brianna Balram, Katherine LaPrell, Kayla Richart and DeMari Davis, while Chris Dahlan from “Age of Attraction,” Dave Hand from “Married at First Sight Australia” and Nick Pellecchia from “Million Dollar Secret” will arrive as the only singles from their respective shows. From “Temptation Island,” Natalie Cruz, Danny Spongberg and Hashim Moore return; “Love Is Blind” alums include Sophie Willett, Jimmy Presnell, and Marissa George; and Weston Richey, Yamen Sanders and Kassy Castillo will represent “Love Island.” Content creator Jimmy Sotos will also appear.
The first season of “Perfect Match” premiered in 2023, with the second season following in 2024 and the third in 2025. Notable past contestants include “Too Hot to Handle” alums Francesca Farago, Georgia Hassarati and Harry Jowsey, “The Bachelorette”’s Rachel Recchia (alongside “The Bachelor’s” Clayton Echart, whose season Recchia was a contestant on), “Love Is Blind”’s Shayne Jansen and “Love Island”’s Chloe Veitch.
“Perfect Match” is produced by Kinetic Content, the company behind other reality dating shows like “Love Is Blind,” “The Ultimatum” and “Married at First Sight.” Nick Lachey hosts the show, in addition to fellow Netflix titles “Love Is Blind” and “The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On.”
