What is Age Of Attraction about?

The new series asks the age-old dating question: is age really just a number?

Hosted by former The Bachelor star Nick Viall and his wife Natalie Joy — who themselves have an 18-year age gap — the show challenges contestants to fall in love without knowing how old their potential partner is.

The singles taking part range from 22 to 60 years old. However, in the early stages of the experiment, revealing your age is strictly off limits.

“You’ll be dating without ever knowing how old your partner is,” Natalie explains in the show’s trailer.

Instead, participants must build connections based purely on chemistry and compatibility — rather than birthdates.

Once couples feel confident about their relationship, they’ll commit to each other before finally revealing their ages.

From there, the pairs will move in together and introduce their partner to friends and family to see whether their romance can survive in the real world.

Who hosts the show?

Fans of reality dating shows may recognise Nick from his appearances on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.

The 45 year old hosts the new Netflix series alongside his wife Natalie, who is 27.

The pair — who have an 18-year age gap themselves — first met when Natalie slid into Nick’s DMs. They later married in 2024.

They now co-host the podcast The Viall Files and share a daughter, River Rose, two. The couple are also expecting twin girls later this year.

Episodes six and seven will then arrive a week later on March 18, with the final episode landing on March 25.

Fans react to the trailer

After the first-look trailer dropped online, many viewers admitted they were instantly hooked.

One joked: “Watching the trailer and one of the guys says he won’t marry a woman unless she’s ‘as hot as his mum’… now I kinda want to watch it.”

Another wrote: “I’m screaming in excitement!”

And a third added: “This is so cringey. I’m definitely watching.”
