The Ultimatum: Queer Love canceled after two chaotic seasons

After two seasons, The Ultimatum: Queer Love has been canceled by Netflix, according to Variety.

A spin-off of the reality dating series The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On, Queer Love premiered in May 2024, with season 2 airing in June of this year.

Each season, the series focused on six couples made up of women and nonbinary people, with one member of each couple issuing a marriage ultimatum to the other. At the beginning of the season, the cast would mingle and go on mini-dates before everyone paired off with a member of another couple for a three-week-long trial marriage. After the three weeks were up, the original couples would reunite and do a three-week trial marriage of their own.

At the end of the season, the couples would then decide, essentially, whether to get married or break up.

Season 1 featured couples Xander and Vanessa, Yolly and Mal, Lexi and Rae, Sam and Aussie, and Mildred and Tiff. And the season 2 couples were Ashley and Marita, AJ and Britney, Dayna and Magan, Pilar and Haley, Kyle and Bridget, and Marie and Mel.

News of The Ultimatum: Queer Love's cancellation follows the recent cancellations of several other queer shows.

Earlier this week, the sitcom Mid-Century Modern was canceled after just one season on Hulu. The show starred Nathan Lane, Nathan Lee Graham, and Matt Bomer as three friends who move into a Palm Springs house together, after the fourth member of their friend group passes away.

And on Wednesday, Deadline reported that Lena Waithe's Showtime drama, The Chi, will conclude after its upcoming eighth season. "After much reflection, we have made the decision to end The Chi with season 8," Waithe said in a statement. "I know, for the sake of our story and our characters, it's the right thing. I am committed to delivering a final season that our Chi family deserves."
