Reality dating grew three sizes on Tuesday. Couple To Throuple, Peacock‘s new original series, will highlight four couples in their first forays into polyamory. The show, hosted by Access Hollywood‘s Scott Evans and guided by sex and relationship expert Shamyra Howard, will premiere on Feb. 8.
Per its press release, Couple To Throuple transports its participants to a remote tropical resort where they will “meet, mingle and date” a group of 14 singles. The result? “Three times the fun, the feelings and drama.”
“If you were given the chance at non-monogamy in paradise, what would you do?” Evans says in the trailer released Tuesday. He refers to the show as a “journey for love unlike any you’ve seen before.”
Over the course of their stay at the resort, couples invite new singles to join them every few days, with Howard there to coach them through the new experience. “I am going to test your threshold on watching your partner get intimate with your chosen third,” she tells the group.
Per the trailer, it’s not all smooth sailing. “Jealousy relates to a person detecting a threat,” Howard tells one participant, followed by a montage of hurt feelings and angry outbursts.
Participants have until the end of their stay to decide if they would like to commit to their new throuple experience, go home with just each other or leave separately.
Howard is an award-winning sexologist, licensed clinical social worker and certified sex therapist through the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists. Her coaching has been featured in the New York Times, Insider, CNN, Yahoo, The Oprah Magazine, Essence and more.
The 10-episode season of Couple to Throuple will release in batches starting Feb. 8 on Peacock.
