Netflix cancels Amanda Holden reality show after just 1 season
The series debuted earlier this year.
Netflix has quietly cancelled Cheat: Unfinished Business, starring Amanda Holden and Paul C Brunson, just four months after its debut on the streamer.
The reality series followed eight ex-couples whose relationships were torn apart due to cheating, but there was a major twist: It saw the couples reunite at a retreat and be guided through their issues by Brunson in the hopes they could own up to their mistakes and potentially rekindle a romance.
The series was hosted by Holden, who described it as a "dream come true" after "always" wanting to host a show about love and relationships.
The show's cancellation was reported by The Sun, which notes that the streamer has "decided to pursue new show formats".
A source told the tabloid: "Bosses love Amanda and are in talks with her on three different show ideas, so it's likely fans will see a lot more of her on the platform in the future."
A spokesperson for Netflix confirmed to RadioTimes.com: "Cheat: Unfinished Business won't be returning."
Both Holden and Brunson are presenters in demand, with the latter currently on TV screens as a dating expert on Celebs Go Dating and undoubtedly preparing for the new season of Married at First Sight UK when it rolls around.
Meanwhile for Holden, auditions for Britain's Got Talent are expected to take place later this year, and she is also the host of Heart Breakfast every weekday, so it's safe to say they're busy people!
Holden and Brunson weren't the only familiar faces on the show, as former Love Island contestants Biggs and Rebecca took part on the show after their break-up in 2021.
Cheat: Unfinished Business is available to watch on Netflix now. Sign up for Netflix from £5.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media Stream.
