Ever thought about testing whether your partner really wants to be with you by giving them an ultimatum and then both dating someone else to see if you'd rather be with that person instead?

Well, quite a few couples have, and now five are about to appear on season two of Netflix's The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On.

The eccentric dating show first aired on the streaming site in April 2022, with a set of couples putting their relationship to the test.

Netflix then launched a spin-off of the show titled The Ultimatum: Queer Love, which saw five couples made up of women and non-binary people going through the same experiment.

Now, a new batch of lovers are about to take on The Ultimatum, with episodes set to drop on Netflix this August.

How does The Ultimatum work?

The Ultimatum involves a group of couples who all have one thing in common - while one person wants to get married, the other does not.

The person who doesn't want to get married is then issued with an "ultimatum", after which they must decide if they want to stay with their original partner and get married or if they want to move on with someone else.

To help them make their decision, all couples will split up and live with someone new. Over three weeks, they'll get to know them and meet one another's families.
