Meet the Cast of ‘The Ultimatum: Queer Love,’ Netflix’s First LGBTQ+ Dating Show (PHOTOS)
Netflix‘s first LGBTQ+-focused dating show, The Ultimatum: Queer Love, arrives May 24, showing the ups and downs of commitment with five new couples.
From the creators of Love Is Blind, The Ultimatum: Queer Love centers couples made up of women and non-binary people who are all at a crossroads in their relationships. One partner is ready for marriage, the other has doubts. An ultimatum is issued, and in just over eight weeks, each couple will either get married, or get out, after they each choose new “trial marriage” partners in a life-changing opportunity to get a glimpse of two different futures.
The first four episodes of The Ultimatum: Queer Love come out Wednesday, May 24 on Netflix, just in time for Pride 2023, with Episodes 5-8 dropping May 31 and Episodes 9 and 10 dropping June 7. JoAnna Garcia Swisher hosts the season (Nick and Vanessa Lachey hosted Season 1).
Familiarize yourself with The Ultimatum: Queer Love cast in the gallery below (and through their socials) ahead of the season premiere. With lifetime commitments on the line, it’s sure to be a doozy.

Yoly & Mal
Yoly (34, she/her) gave the ultimatum to her partner, Mal (36, she/her/they). Yoly wants to take the next step with Mal (marriage, kids, the works), but Mal fears Yoly wants marriage just for the sake of being married. Mal also wants to be financially ready for a house and kids before tying the knot.
Raelyn (Rae) & Lexi
Xander & Vanessa
Sam & Aussie
Sam (31, she/her) gave the ultimatum to Aussie (42, pronoun: Aussie), her partner of 18 months. Sam is ready for the “ultimate commitment,” but Aussie is looking to be live-in partners for five years before considering getting hitched. As of now, Sam and Aussie’s Instagram handles (if they have them) are unknown.
Tiff & Mildred
Mildred (33, she/her) gave her partner, Tiff (32, they/them) the ultimatum. They first met on Instagram after Mildred’s painful divorce, and have since built a life together with Mildred’s teenage son and their two dogs. Mildred feels it’s high time for them to get married, but Tiff fears their communication issues and on-again, off-again dynamic is a sign they’re not ready.
