If there’s one thing Gen-Z understands, it’s situationships. A new NSFW dating show is on the horizon from Netflix — and it’s going to be steamier than you could imagine.

Sneaky Links: Dating After Dark is coming to the platform in summer 2025 and will be hosted by Too Hot To Handle Season 1 alum Chloe Veitch, a.k.a. the self proclaimed “Essex Queen.”

Spicy Mari, who lives up to her name, will also join the show as a dating and relationship expert. Mari has appeared on MTV’s The Love Experiment and Paramount+‘s Love Allways. She is the founder of the relationship consulting firm The Spicy Life, an accomplishment that earns her the title of a sexpert, if you will.

According to a press release shared with DECIDER, “Sneaky Links: Dating After Dark tests a very real phenomenon (a regular late night casual hook up) through a one-of-a-kind dating social experiment.” The show will leave contestants needing to answer the question if their sneaky link is the one and only for them, or if they need to cut things off in order to find true love elsewhere.

The show will be produced by Christopher Potts, Jonty Nash, Bernie Schaeffer, Viki Kolar and Audrey E. Smith, and will release 10 episodes that run 40 minutes each. It will join Netflix’s extensive dating show library, including fan-favorites Love is Blind, Perfect Match, The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On, The Ultimatum: Queer Love, Love on the Spectrum and more.

Veitch ended her run on Too Hot To Handle single, but came out with part of the prize pot. After leaving the show, she stuck with Netflix and appeared on The Circle, where she entered as herself and quickly won over fans’ hearts. She didn’t stop there though. In 2023, the former model entered Perfect Match with THTH costar Francesca Farago. Off-screen, the star is single, and as she would say, “geezer” free.

In addition to the new series, Veitch hosts Too Hot To Handle: Extra Hot. She will also appear as a “love guru” in the upcoming Too Hot to Handle 3 and as a host in The Ultimatum: Choices, according to the press release.

Sneaky Links: Dating After Dark will premiere in summer 2025 on Netflix.
