The Age of Attraction season 1 reunion hasn’t even aired yet (it hits the Viall Files YouTube channel on April 1 at 7 p.m. ET), but already fans are asking, “Are we getting a second season?” (Okay, it is me. I am fans.) Well, good news: Netflix just announced that Age of Attraction season 2 is officially a go following the success of the unhinged first season, and I, for one, am very pleased to hear it.
As executive producers Jennifer O’Connell and Rebecca Quinn said of the decision in a statement, “We love concepts that are impossible to look away from, and Age of Attraction nailed that from day one. It’s messy, it’s real, and that’s what makes it fun to watch. Huge thanks to Netflix for embracing this dating experiment with us. The response has been incredible, and we’re excited to push it even further in season 2.”
So far, Netflix hasn’t released any more details about what fans can expect from season 2, so stand by for updates. But presumably, Nick Viall and Natalie Joy will return to host, and the majority of filming will likely once again take place at the Brew Creek Centre in Whistler, British Columbia, which is where the season 1 retreat was held.
Oh, and if you’re wondering, “Why Canada?” the explanation actually makes a lot of sense (and no, it wasn’t just due to Canadian tax credits—though that was certainly part of the reason).
As EP Jennifer O’Connell previously explained to Deadline, “There’s been a million dating shows on tropical islands, and I think we wanted to stand out a little bit, but also find a place that’s really beautiful. If you think about someone of a certain age, you know, not 19 years old, wants to go on a nice retreat, we were trying to create a very high-end resort type situation where you would really be able to enjoy nature and do lots of outdoorsy things. It was nice to shoot somewhere that you haven’t seen a million times on reality TV.”
More to come on Age of Attraction season 2 as I have it!
