Not everyone is able to pour their heart out in the pods, OK? In today’s world, many relationships begin as casual, late-night hookups that never see the light of day … until now.
Sneaky Links: Dating After Dark, which is now available to stream, is shining a spotlight on the steamy world of late-night linkups. But first, what exactly is a “sneaky link”? Well, it’s basically someone you’re sleeping with undercover. The way host and dating show veteran Chloe Veitch sees it, “a sneaky link is a guaranteed quick bunk up … and they’re scared of the c-word: commitment.”
This one-of-a-kind dating experiment brings together a group of not-quite-so-single daters who check into the Sneaky Links Motel with their casual flings to discover if they are meant to be, or just getting in the way of finding long-lasting love.
Keep reading for everything you need to know about Sneaky Links: Dating After Dark, including who’s checking into the motel and where you can follow them on social media.
All 10 episodes of Season 1 are now available to stream.
Host Chloe Veitch (Too Hot To Handle Season 1, The Circle Season 2, and Perfect Match Season 1) will use her experience as a card-carrying member of the Netflix Reality Universe to guide these Sneaky Linkers on their journey to form a real romantic connection in the motel. But she won’t be alone, as dating and relationship expert Spicy Mari will be on call to help the daters navigate the many (and presumably messy) stages of their situationships.
Throughout the experiment, guests will regularly meet with Chloe and Spicy Mari for “Link Lowdowns,” where they’ll have tough conversations about their progress. With her expert eye, Spicy Mari will use these discussions and her observations of the singles throughout their stay to assess when a guest has gotten everything they can out of the process and tell them it’s time to check out of the Sneaky Links motel.
Below, get to know the group of singles who’ll discover if their casual late-night flings could turn into something more serious. Keep scrolling to also find out about the late arrivals who’ll be checking into the motel throughout the season to fill any vacancies.
While at the motel, the guests and their respective sneaky links will participate in activities designed to test their compatibility and push them to think about long-term commitments instead of always keeping things casual. Through challenges and dates, each single must decide whether to deepen their connection with their sneaky link, explore new romantic possibilities, or leave the motel single. But it’s not all G-rated bonding rituals and emotional heart-to-hearts.
Soon after their arrival, the motel guests are granted “overnight phone privileges,” meaning they’re given the ability to call any other guest in order to arrange a late-night linkup. Will they fall back into old patterns or choose to evolve? With temptation lurking around every corner, emotions run high and relationships get messy. In the end, each member of the remaining couples must decide if they’d like to check out together through the lobby and hard-launch their relationship in the real world, or leave alone, sneaking out the side door one final time.
Take a look below for a first look at the daring dating experiment.
