Singletown: HBO Max New Series Delivers British Banter Missed By Love Island Fans

HBO Max’s Singletown arrived just in time to relieve reality fans from a British banter withdrawal.

Warner Media’s streaming service imported season 1 of this ITV2 reality series into their already raved collection, giving a second wind with American audiences after its August 20 release.  The show seeks to answer a question faced by all long-term couples at a crossroads: should I stay or should I go? Five couples on the brink of demise break-up, with half of the 10 now single-ready-to-mingles moving into a luxury London flat (Riverside) and their exes moving into another (Cityside). But there’s a twist. Each apartment is down the hall from the other, decorated with imposing portraits of the residents’ exes and a TV that displays updates and steamy footage of how their former partner is fairing in the dating world.

Each week, hosts Joel Dommett and Emily Atack curate dates and mixers for their respective set of singles, helping the rusty daters get back on the saddle with a premium taste of single life at its best. At the end of each week, after dating new Londoners and watching footage of their ex doing the same, the singles reunite with their exes to decide whether to stay in Singletown or leave as a couple. If a couple decides to reunite before the show’s end, a new couple searching for answers takes their spot in the apartments.
