Pop the Balloon Takes on Netflix
Pop the Balloon is a popular dating series on YouTube known as a form of speed dating created by Bolia Matundu and Arlette Amuli. Both will also be executive producers on the Netflix version of the series.
During the show, guests line up and those interested can “pop the balloon” of those they are not interested in for whatever reason. Once your balloon is popped, you’re eliminated from the dating pool for that specific person.
Throughout the show, there’s a mixture of connections, altercations, and everything in between. The live version with Netflix will bring eliminations, dilemmas, and unfiltered romance to those who love how the YouTube series works.
Now that the series is joining Netflix, some other popular reality television stars will also make an appearance. Be prepared to see Johnny Bananas, Farrah Abraham, Zaina Sesay, and more.
“We couldn’t be more excited to expand and reimagine Pop the Balloon on Netflix,” said Executive Producer Matt Sharp. “This new iteration builds on the original’s core concept while pushing the boundaries of connection, chemistry, and unpredictability.”
In this version, the show will also feature a new host. Nigerian American comedian, actor, and author Yvonne Orji will join the Netflix team as the celebrity host of Pop the Balloon.
