The new reality format Cheat: Unfinished Business, hosted by Amanda Holden, is coming to Netflix next month.
The series follows eight former couples whose relationships have been torn apart due to cheating. As they reunite at a retreat, each pair will be guided through their issues by relationship expert Paul C. Brunson in the hopes that they can face up to their past mistakes, rebuild trust and move forward—either together or apart.
The show comes from Lifted Entertainment, an ITV Studios company, and 12 Yard Productions, an ITV Studios company. It is filmed in Majorca, Spain. The initial order is for nine one-hour episodes, launching in April.
Brunson said, “When Netflix, Lifted and 12 Yard brought this idea to me, I was so excited by the opportunity to explore all the gray areas of infidelity for the contributors and the audience alike. Infidelity is complex and painful, but I don’t think it always has to end a relationship. If both partners are willing to put in the work to rebuild trust, the process can often make a relationship stronger. I think/hope that audiences will really resonate with our couples. The show feels very different to other dating formats, and I can’t wait to see how it’s received next month.”
