Dating Naked will be back for a second season as just announced today by VH1. The reality dating series which features, obviously, singles ready to date sans clothing has been averaging 1 million viewers since debuting on July 17, 2014.

Season one, currently airing on Thursday nights at 9pm, will feature a reality TV dating show first on September 18th: a naked wedding in which the bride, groom, family, friends, and Dating Naked couples will all be nude. I’m going to assume that if you’re only planning on catching one episode of this series, the “Dating Naked: The Wedding” episode should be the one you settle down to watch.

Dating Naked has been a ratings success for us and a viewer favorite,” said Susan Levison, Executive Vice President, Original Programming & Production for VH1. “VH1 has always been about shaping the cultural conversation and we’re so glad to have created another pop culture lightning rod. The show is funny, engaging, and it actually works – we’ve helped 6 couples find love this season. You’re welcome, America.”

“We couldn’t be happier to be producing a second season of Dating Naked,” said Howard Schultz, President of Lighthearted Entertainment. “The show has turned out to be everything we had hoped for: inspiring, funny and illuminating, and we are thrilled that viewers have embraced it. VH1 has been incredibly supportive throughout development, production and promotion and we thank them for this vote of confidence.”

The Plot of Dating Naked:

Dating Naked is a one-hour weekly series that explores the pursuit of romance free of pre-conceived notions, stereotypes — and clothes. Filmed in a remote exotic locale, each close-ended episode follows a man and a woman both going on three naked dates, including two with other suitors and one with each other. At the end of the episode, the romance seekers analyze what they’ve learned from their dates before deciding whether to move forward with a prospective love match.

Once everyone has stripped away the artifices of our modern world and revealed their ultimate, honest selves, the results are surprising. Hosted by Amy Paffrath, the series consists of 10 one-hour episodes edited according to network standards.
