Do you like The Masked Singer? Do you like Love is Blind? Do you like the BBC’s 1988 adaptation of The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe? Do you have a furry fetish? If you answered “hell yeah!” to even one of these questions, congrats! You are the target audience for Sexy Beasts, a new Netflix dating show.
Here’s the premise: a bunch of hot singles are transformed into animal-human hybrids, their naturally gorgeous features covered by insane facial prosthetics. Then they go on dates with each other. Then they choose one person to continue dating. Then they meet their chosen date sans animal-face. The trailer, which premiered today, seems to be selling this as a blind love experiment, but, again, all of these people are thin and hot, soooo… naw.
The show is based on the 2014 British series and will premiere on July 21. Netflix has already ordered two six-episode seasons. For some reason, it will be narrated by one of the sexiest men alive (THAT’S MY OPINION!) actor/comedian Rob Delaney. Here’s the trailer:
Yes, it looks dumb. Yes, I will watch it. For whatever reason, I am fascinated by the idea of a panda and an alien going out on a basic bitch ax-throwing date. It’s just something I never thought I’d see in my lifetime.
