Plot Synopsis

LOVE OFF THE GRID is a docuseries that follows four people accustomed to modern amenities who give it all up for a chance at true love. They each think they have found "the one," with one problem: one partner lives completely off the grid -- no running water, no electricity and no civilization in sight. For the first time, these couples live together in total isolation to see if they can make it work in the wild. Each couple must learn to adapt as they attempt to build a life together. They must hunt for food, gather resources and maintain the homestead. But to what extremes will these couples go to make it work for love? Will the great outdoors bring these relationships closer together? Or will their extreme differences in lifestyles bring the couples to their breaking points? The first two episodes of LOVE OFF THE GRID dropped on Sunday, January 30, 2022 on discovery+, with a new episode debuting each Sunday thereafter. LOVE OFF THE GRID made its linear television debut on Wednesday, February 9, 2022 at 9:10pm ET/PT on Discovery Channel.

Charlie, Joseph, Spence and Angela left civilization years ago and have built a new life in unforgiving landscapes like mountains and deserts. Living off the land, they hunt, trap, fish and forage for their food. If they need something, they make it, and if something breaks, they fix it. The only thing missing from their lives is a partner. However, they love their remote locations so much that they refuse to break away from their off-the-grid lifestyles.

Jen, Myesha, Lyndsay and Josh enjoy the modern luxuries of living in a city, like going to the spa, having drinks with friends and getting pedicures as well as everyday necessities like indoor plumbing and air conditioning, but they are willing to leave their lives behind for a chance at love with their off the grid partner. Each day will be a challenge, but they have their loved one to show them how to survive in the wilderness.

About the couples:

Joseph & Myesha: With Joe's commitment to establishing a life of his own in Centre, Alabama, he's looking for a partner who can build her life on the homestead. He is in love with the freedom of the outdoors and believes the best lessons are learned from nature. Myesha might have found her Prince Hairy, but what will she sacrifice for love? How will Myesha learn to raise goats with Joseph on their secluded farm while also welcoming another woman into their relationship?

Spence & Lyndsay: Spence is a true man of the outdoors and resides in the rocky hills of De Beque near Grand Junction, Colorado. Lyndsay, his dream girl, is leaving the city life behind to see if their love can stand the test of any terrain. Will she be able to give up her social life to live with Spence?

Charlie & Jen: After breaking up over 20 years ago, will Jen now be ready to embrace Charlie's unique lifestyle at his cabin in Black Mountain, NC? Is she really ready to give up Botox and spa treatments for this mountain man?

Angela & Josh: In addition to almost having a 30-year age gap between them, will Josh (27) be able to survive the 120-degree desert heat in the Mojave while living at Angela's (56) secluded house with no air conditioning? And how will he adapt to keeping themselves clean with the limited water supply they haul water using buckets and cups.
