Apple TV announced a new eight-episode dating documentary series The Last Person on Earth, with New York Times bestselling author and renowned couples therapist Esther Perel. In the series couples who appear to be opposites are expertly paired by Perel and a team of matchmakers and therapists, before embarking on an adventure in one of the world’s most romantic and remote destinations. With more single people than ever before, and increasing levels of polarisation and social isolation, this innovative experiment asks the question: could the last person on Earth you think you’d ever want to date end up being the one person you can’t live without? And will an unexpected pairing in paradise open their horizons and be the beginning of a life-changing relationship?
“Over the course of my career as a couples therapist, one truth has become undeniable: love may crave closeness, but desire is fuelled by otherness,” said Perel. “The Last Person on Earth is a bold exploration of relationships that challenges everything we assume about compatibility; inviting people to ditch the checklist and embrace dating as an adventure into the unknown. When we choose to step outside the narrow boundaries of what feels familiar or safe, passionate love stories can flourish.”
From Boldprint Studios, The Last Person on Earth is executive produced by Dan Gray, Lou Hutchinson and Phil Harris, with series director Josh Jacobs. Olly Lambert also serves as director on the series.
