Nowadays, watching two people go on an uncomfortable blind first date in a crowded bar feels kind of like visiting a history museum, observing a relic of days past. And as sad as that is, it also still makes for some good old voyeuristic fun. Following a dramatic New York-based Season One last year, the second season of Netflix’s Dating Around, which was filmed in October of 2019, drops Friday June 12. This time around, six New Orleans singles are sent on five blind dates each. Every episode follows one dater as they awkwardly make small talk, argue, or hit it off with their five matches, after which they must select one of their suitors who they deem worthy of a second date.

Although Dating Around is like the refined, classy aunt to Netflix’s other 2020 trashy dating shows Love Is Blind and Too Hot To Handle, it delivers the same cringeworthy moments that make reality dating shows so watchable. Full of passionate first kisses and and plenty of serious drama, Season Two does not disappoint. While the cast has yet to announce if any of their second dates led to a third or even fourth, here’s what the six members are up to on social media lately.

Justin Bigting

From the looks of it, Episode One's Justin is still hanging with his dog in NoLA. No word on his current dating status so far.

Ben Samuel

The very gentlemanly Professor of Computer Science Ben deserves some happy love, although his episode was full of awkward moments so pungent it was hard to watch. We're rooting for him and awaiting any updates from his brand new Instagram account.

Deva Mahal

Deva Mahal, the impressive R&B singer and daughter of Taj Mahal, had no issue charming all five of her dates on Episode Three, although a few of them were less than charming back to her. Stream her latest single here.

Heather Salvaggio

The delightful, animal-loving Heather is still working as a professional make-up artist in NoLA now.

Brandon Bordelon

Brandon’s confidence and banter make his episode one of the least secondhand-embarrassment inducing of the season. Though from the looks of this cozy Instagram post from February with a new man, he may no longer be on the market.

Demi Diaz



Digital marketer and self-proclaimed workaholic Demi Diaz dazzled her five dates in the final episode of the season. Although this birthday Instagram from May 29 signals that she has found love elsewhere since filming Dating Around.
