It’s been less than a month since Love Island USA ended, but Perfect Match is already here to fill up our free time with reality TV mess. For anyone new here, Netflix’s answer to the summer TV sensation first debuted in 2023, recruiting stars from across the Netflix Reality Universe to compete in one no-holds-barred game for love. Now a yearly event, each season of Perfect Match recruits alums from Love Is Blind, The Ultimatum, Temptation Island, and more, to bring their dramatic personalities and prior baggage to Tulum for a new round of drama.
Premiering on August 1, 2025, Perfect Match season 3 expands beyond the NRU to include stars of other reality shows, including a longtime Siesta Key star, a Bachelor and a Bachelorette (who had one of the franchise’s most notorious breakups), and, yes, several Love Island USA alums. Below, read on for everything you need to know about the stacked cast of Perfect Match, including the TV personalities’s most memorable moments and whether they’ll run into their exes.
The cast of Perfect Match season 3.
