Plot Synopsis

Hosted by Zara McDermott, LOVE IN THE FLESH is a one-hour reality series that features five online couples -- Christos & Niki; Shelby & Millie; Hannah & Brandon; Chibz & Shazelle; and Jess & Kwame -- who meet in the flesh for the first time to spend a week together in a glorious Greek beach house. Will the online spark translate into the real world? The series focuses on real-life potential couples who have already formed relationships via dating apps and social media but who have never met each other in the real world. Having started their relationships through apps, stories and DMs, some couples will have been chatting for years whilst others have only been flirting for months or weeks. But does their online persona match their real world self? None of them have met due to personal situations or factors like location. These online daters are whisked away from the pressures of daily life and screens to explore whether their online relationships can turn into love in the flesh. They meet each other for the first time at a beach house and finally get the opportunity to spend proper time together. This is where they begin to find out what the person they've been chatting to all this time is really like and whether this is a relationship they want to take back into the real world. As with all relationships, some will work and some won't. If online couples do decide to split, there are opportunities to form new relationships and to compare the chemistry of online versus real world connections. Throughout the series, the couples learn from each other, take on challenges to explore different sides of their relationship and discuss the differences in their dating behaviour when there are no filters and no screens to hide behind. LOVE IN THE FLESH made its U.S. debut on Tuesday, July 26, 2022, as Hulu released the entire eight-episode first season.
