Netflix reality show Single's Inferno season 5 will be released worldwide on Jan. 20, heating up the 2026 new year.
Single's Inferno, the legendary dating reality show that became the first Netflix Korea program to reach a fifth season, is an honest and hot dating reality show featuring singles on a remote island called "Jigokdo," where only couples can leave.
Starting with season 1 entering the global top 10 TV (non-English) list among Korean variety programs, season 2 remained in the same category for four consecutive weeks, and season 3, which reached the peak of popularity with its shocking, rule-breaking developments, dominated the top ranks of the global top 10 for five weeks and made the top 10 list in 31 countries. In particular, season 4, which showed the evolution of dating reality, once again proved it is the "absolute power" of dating reality by recording the highest viewing hours among first-week scores.
Fans are hotter than ever wondering which attractive singles in Single's Inferno season 5 will invite viewers to a dopamine inferno with bold, straightforward advances. Kim Jaewon PD, who has led Single's Inferno's success over five seasons, said, "I can only say I am deeply moved," and added, "I think we were able to come this far thanks to all the singles who have been with us since season 1 and the fans who have cheered for those singles."
Meanwhile, the released teaser trailer raises expectations for a fierce love scramble among the "all kinds of singles" gathered on the "peculiar island." Following the sweet flirting line "I decided, let's get drunk only four times a year; it could be today," blunt, unfiltered lines like "Are there people who date two people at once?" and "Why me? I just went once" foreshadow a heaven that will thrill and a Jigokdo that is even more vicious and hot. Above all, the singles' intense presence, which captures attention in the short teaser alone, sends dopamine soaring.
The dramatic relationship narratives completed by singles honest about their feelings, and the high-stimulation emotional trigger devices crafted by dating show artisans who know all about flirty chemistry, are expected to be the season's biggest attractions. Kim Jaewon PD said, "Season 5 is a season focused on the 'thrill' of a classic dating program," and added, "You will be able to meet much more diverse love lines and intense characters." He also said, "You can expect interesting relationships you've never seen before," further stoking anticipation for season 5.
The world's hottest inferno, Single's Inferno season 5, will be available on Netflix on Jan. 20 (Tue).
