Upcoming Chinese Dating Shows 2026–2027
<-Youku Shows->
Twinkle Love S6: A Midsummer Dream -> I think it might be released around April 2027. Since filming began in the summer, the expected release date is in Q2 of 2027. -> Picture 1-1
Love Wins All S2: It is likely to be released toward the end of 2026. It has been added to the top of the list of upcoming dating shows on the Youku website. I expect the series to air in Q1 of 2027. -> Picture 1-2
Mom, I Want to Fall in Love S1: It appears it will follow the same concept as the Korean version, “Match to Marry: With Parents.” I expect the series to air in Q2 of 2027-> Picture 2-1
She's Been Single Since Birth S1: Although it may seem like the Chinese version of the Korean series “Better Late Than Single,” it actually has a different style. We’ll watch as female contestants who have never dated anyone since birth interact with men on the show who are searching for true love. I expect the series to air in Q1 of 2027, but if it comes out sooner, that would be even better for us. -> Picture 2-2
We Who Don't Know How to Fall in Love S1: For some reason, the description gave me a “Terrace House JPN” vibe. It looks like it's going to be a long-running show, or at least the filming period has been set to last at least three seasonal cycles. I expect the series to be released in Q2 of 2027 -> Picture 3-1
My Love, Please S1: They're trying out a different format. It’s the exact opposite of the Korean show “Date My Friend,” where we watch celebrities’ friends go on dates. In this one, the friends make the selections from among 100 male candidates who are a good match for five celebrity women. I expect the series to be released in Q1 of 2027 or around December 2026 -> Picture 3-2

Dear Friend S4 -> It looks like Season 4 will be released at the end of this year or in Q1 of 2027. Although it doesn’t appear on the 2027 schedule, as far as I could tell from my research in 2026, it’s still in the plans, but I couldn’t find a trailer or anything like that.
