Apple TV Announces New Dating Series: ‘The Last Person on Earth’

Esther Perel leads an eight-part documentary series as Apple TV enters dating shows with couples paired by matchmakers for a remote adventure.

  • Apple TV has officially entered the dating genre with its new series, 'The Last Person on Earth,' featuring renowned couples therapist Esther Perel leading an eight-episode documentary program.
  • Seeking to expand beyond sci-fi and thriller output, the streamer positions this as a social experiment addressing polarization and social isolation, exploring whether opposites truly attract.
  • "Love may crave closeness, but desire is fueled by otherness," Perel told Variety, adding the series challenges compatibility assumptions by inviting people to embrace dating as adventure.
  • Produced by Boldprint Studios under former Channel 4 entertainment boss Phil Harris, Perel and matchmakers pair couples appearing to be opposites before sending them to remote romantic destinations.
  • While 'Love Is Blind' and 'Love Island' dominate streaming, Apple TV deliberately avoids the 'reality' brand baggage by marketing an 'elevated' documentary feel, with no release date yet announced.
