Another day, another dating show... Love Off The Grid is the latest dating show to emerge and fans are already buzzing about it. However, this isn't the first dating show Discovery has hosted. Naked and Afraid and 90 Day Fiancé are two of the biggest dating shows to come out of the network, so if Love Off The Grid is anything like those shows, it is in for success. The show will air on Discovery+, the network's streaming platform.
The show premiered on Sunday, Jan. 30th, with episodes dropping weekly. If you do not have the streaming platform, it will also be available on Fubo TV, Sling, YouTube TV, Philo and DirecTV Stream.
Will the contestants be willing to live in the wilderness to pursue love? Follow four couples who think they have found the one and connect without any technology.
But what exactly is Love Off The Grid? Here's a detailed look at Discovery's dating show.
