Love Is Blind's Natalie Calls Out Ex Shayne for Perfect Match Casting
Grab your bathing suits and poolside drinks because Perfect Match is back.
The season four cast of the Netflix hit was announced on April 15, and it’s safe to say it’ll be a memorable season with stars from Love Is Blind, Too Hot to Handle, Love Island and even Vanderpump Rules heading to the villa.
That’s right: the show has once again cast its net outside of Netflix, with Bravo star Ally Lewber among those looking for love more than one year after her explosive breakup with fellow Vanderpump Rules alum James Kennedy.
Also among the non-Netflix stars in the mix for season four are Married at First Sight Australia’s Dave Hand, content creator Jimmy Sotos and Love Island alums Kassy Castillo, Weston Richey, and Yamen Sanders.
But, of course, there are plenty of Netflix reality stars in the season four cast. Chief among them, Love Is Blind alums Jimmy Presnell and Marissa George, who will be trying their hand at finding a soulmate after their time in the pods—on seasons six and seven, respectively—ended in heartbreak.
Love Is Blind UK star Sophie Willett will also be part of the season four cast.

However, not everyone is entering the Perfect Match villa as strangers.
Among the four Too Hot to Handle alums entering the villa, Brianna Balram, DeMari Davis, Katherine LaPrell, and Kayla Richart, Bri and DeMari certainly have a history. In fact, the former couple even won season six of the show together before their breakup in February 2025.
As for where they stand today? Their relationship ended on a civil note, with the two agreeing to put their past behind them so they could focus on themselves. But now that they're ready to find love again, who's to say a rekindling couldn't be in the cards?
Rounding out the season four cast is Temptation Island’s Danny Spongberg, Hashim Moore and Natalie Cruz, Building the Band’s Alison Ogden, Squid Game: The Challenge’s Mackenzie Bellows, and Million Dollar Secret’s Nick Pellecchia.
And, ahead of the announcement, fans already knew that Age of Attraction star Chris Dahlan was joining the cast after he shared the news at the show’s season one reunion on April 1.
Netflix
Perfect Match fans won’t have to wait too long to see their reality favorites back on the screen as the show is set to premiere with the first five episodes on May 13. From there, more episodes will roll out each Wednesday until the finale on May 27.
The cast will certainly have big shoes to fill after a wild season three. Too Hot to Handle’s Lucy Syed and Dated and Related alum Daniel Perfetto ended up winning the series but broke up shortly after filming concluded.
However, the runners-up, Love Is Blind alums Amber “AD” Smith and Ollie Sutherland, proved that perfect matches do exist. In fact, the couple has since gotten married and quietly welcomed a daughter earlier this year.
"I couldn’t be more happy," AD told E! News last July. "I’m so blessed, and I get to do this with such an amazing partner. We’re on this journey together, and we’re just so excited about our little girl."
Perfect Match isn’t the only show gearing up to premiere this year. Keep reading for more 2026 TV premieres coming down the pipeline…
