The first season of Indian Matchmaking was a meme just waiting to happen. Aparna’s long list of dislikes — comedy, beach vacations over three days and football, to name a few — made all of the exhausted daters among us feel seen. For those who reveled in the matchmaking drama, get ready to screenshot clips for your friends once again, as the Emmy-nominated dating show just announced its return date. Indian Matchmaking Season 2 will premiere Wednesday, Aug. 10, bringing back some familiar faces — along with brand new daters.
Of course, international matchmaker Sima Taparia will lead Indian Matchmaking’s new season as she helps singles around the world find their perfect partner through traditional and modern matchmaking techniques. This season will take Sima from Mumbai to Durham, North Carolina, on her mission to pair up clients with their right match. “I was totally surprised by the response to the first season of Indian Matchmaking,” Taparia told Netflix. “I’m overwhelmed by the love I’ve gotten and the appreciation for Indian culture and values. I know fans will love what’s coming in Season 2!”
Over the course of eight one-hour episodes, Sima promises to help a group of single millennials (some who might look pretty familiar to fans of the show) manage more expectations on their journey to find their perfect match. With wish lists ranging from man buns, to an “ovo-lacto-semi-vegetarian” diet, to a shared love of Taco Bell, Sima — once again — has her work cut out for her. Get your first look at the Season 2 cast’s romantic journey below, and watch new episodes of Indian Matchmaking this summer.
