Singletons look for love wearing bizarre animal prosthetics in shocking new Netflix show

A trailer has been released for a bizarre new dating show on Netflix which sees singletons don elaborate costumes to woo potential matches.  

Sexy Beasts, which will be released in the streaming service in the UK on 21 July, is a six part series promising to take looks completely out of the equation for daters using fantastical, cutting edge prosthetics to transform their faces – and giving them a chance to find love purely based on personality.

The single will see the real face of their chosen match only after they’ve made their final decision, based entirely on their personality. 

Netflix bosses will be hoping the series will follow in the success of previously successful dating shows on the platform, including Love is Blind and Too Hot to Handle.

In the trailer for the quirky new show, British and American singletons can be seen wearing the unusual prosthetics which completely disguise their appearance.

From beaver costumes to alien masks and shark fins, the daters are completely unable to see the looks of their potential match and must judge on personality alone.

Despite their unusual appearances, singletons on the show can be seen going on normal dates, including meeting up for drinks, bowling and even axe-throwing.

Later, one dater can be heard asking a potential match: ‘So what if I pick you, and I’m not what you expected underneath?’

Netflix bosses will likely be hoping the series will follow in the success of two of its smash hit dating shows from 2020. 

Love Is Blind launched on the streaming service in February 2020. The hit Netflix series followed 30 men and women as they built connections in different pods without ever seeing each other; during that speed dating-process, the contestants were allowed to propose to each other whenever they chose.

Once couples became engaged, they were allowed to meet for the first time, resulting in a romantic getaway to Mexico, moving into their own apartment together and meeting each other’s families ahead of their wedding in days. 

Over two seasons of the unusual show set to be released this year, 48 unique makeup designs were created (pictured, three daters)

Meanwhile Too Hot to Handle, which was also launched last spring, was another runaway dating show success for Netflix.

In the first series, competitors from across the globe entered a luxury villa in Mexico and 10 stars of the show managed to make it to the final and split the $75,000 prize. 

While the total dwindled thanks to a number of rule breaks from randy contestants, the singletons were later given the chance to win back the money.

The cast hailed from the UK, US, Ireland, Canada, and Australia and have kept in touch since the show ended.

Netflix co-CEO previously hailed Too Hot To Handle as the streaming service’s ‘biggest competition show ever’, with the first series the number one show on Netflix during the week of April 20 after it premiered.
