Here’s What’s About to Go Down
Pop the Balloon will air on Netflix. Pop the Balloon is the most hilarious dating show ever. Currently airing on YouTube and other social media channels, this dating show is like no other. The show’s format involves an eligible bachelor or bachelorette standing before a group of potential suitors, each holding a red balloon. As the main contestant shares information about themselves, suitors can choose to pop their balloon at any point to indicate disinterest.
The streaming giant just announced that a live version of the wildly popular online speed-dating show is on the way. Pop the Balloon LIVE kicks off April 10 and will air every Thursday at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT. And guess who’s hosting? The always-hilarious and charming Yvonne Orji (Insecure)! The live show keeps the fan-favorite format — singles holding red balloons they pop when they’re just not feeling the vibe — but with some juicy new twists, real-time eliminations, and surprise celeb drop-ins to keep everyone on their toes.
“We still can’t believe how far Pop the Balloon has come — it started as a fun idea about love, and now it’s getting the Netflix glow-up!” said creators Bolia “BM” Matundu and Arlette Amuli, who are also executive producers on the new version. “From the start, it’s been all about love and laughs, and now we get to bring that same magic to an even bigger stage. Yvonne is funny, fearless, and totally real — we couldn’t dream of a better host to help launch this next chapter!”
“Pop the Balloon Will Be Air On” Netflix. So get ready for steady laughs and shade being thrown throughout.
