BBC Three is turning up the heat this spring with the return of its groundbreaking queer dating show I Kissed a Boy. The second season debuts May 11 on BBC Three and will be available to stream on BBC iPlayer.

Hosted once again by pop icon Dannii Minogue, the show sends a group of single gay men to a stunning Italian masseria—think rustic villa meets summer love island. The twist? They’re matched up before they’ve even said hello. Expect sparks, awkward kisses, and plenty of romantic (and dramatic) detours along the way.

Season 1 launched in 2023 and later streamed on Hulu in the U.S., where it quickly found an international fanbase. No word yet on a global release for Season 2, but we’ll update as soon as the BBC spills the tea.
