Netflix has officially pulled the plug on its LGBTQ+ dating reality series The Ultimatum: Queer Love, confirming that the show will not return for a third season.

A spin-off of the popular The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On, Queer Love premiered in May 2024 and featured couples made up of women and non-binary individuals navigating the complexities of commitment. The format saw one partner issue a marriage ultimatum, prompting couples to separate and explore new romantic connections before deciding whether to reunite, move on, or remain single.

Hosted by JoAnna Garcia Swisher, the show was praised for its inclusive casting and emotional depth, offering rare visibility to queer relationships in mainstream reality television. Despite its cultural significance and a strong debut, the second season - released in June 2025 - failed to replicate the success of its predecessor, missing Netflix’s global Top 10 rankings. 

Netflix expressed pride in the work of the cast and crew but did not provide a detailed explanation for the cancellation. Industry insiders suggest that internal restructuring and commercial viability may have influenced the decision. 

The original Ultimatum series, hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, continues to thrive, with a fourth season already confirmed.
