Attention girls, boys, gays and theys: The Ultimatum: Queer Love is here. And while the entire premise of the show hinges on tough decisions, actually watching it will be one of the easiest decisions you’ll ever have to make. 

For those unfamiliar with The Ultimatum universe, here’s what you need to know. Five couples participate in the show, and the cast of The Ultimatum: Queer Love is made up exclusively of women and nonbinary people. Each of them identifies as queer and finds themselves at a crossroads in their relationship. One partner is ready to settle down and get married, and the other (for a whole host of different reasons) has their doubts.

The Ultimatum: Queer Love follows each unsure couple as they get brutally honest with one another, date other people in an attempt to figure out what they really want and potentially choose another partner altogether. Of course, there’s always the chance they’ll end up choosing themselves, too — and no matter what future is in store, it’s sure to be a wild ride along the way. 

Who’s in The Ultimatum: Queer Love?

The show features five couples, each of which have one partner who has issued an ultimatum: Lexi and Rae, Mal and Yoly, Vanessa and Xander, Sam and Aussie and Tiff and Mildred. To learn more about the cast and their stories, visit The Ultimatum: Queer Love cast guide
