MTV is adding to its growing roster of reality TV by tapping into romance this summer with The Love Experiment, a new series that boasts “bringing the choices and excitement of dating apps to life.” The series is set to premiere on August 15 at 10 p.m.
According to the official description, “Three single best friends will enter a literal “hall” of eligible men, who are all ready to commit. Inside this dating utopia, the women are in control as they search for real love. But they quickly realize having too many ideal choices is harder than it seems. In the end, they’ll have to answer the question, ‘If you’re offered everything you want…will you ultimately choose what you need?’”
