Overview
- Apple TV announced the series on Thursday, July 23, 2026, marking the streamer’s first dedicated entry into relationship and dating programming.
- Renowned couples therapist Esther Perel is attached as the on-camera lead and creative guide and says the show will explore how desire can be driven by otherness.
- The Last Person on Earth is described as an eight-episode documentary-style social experiment that pairs people who appear to be opposites and sends them, with matchmakers and therapists, to one of the world’s most romantic remote destinations.
- The series was commissioned out of Jay Hunt’s Apple TV Europe team and is produced by Fremantle-backed UK indie Boldprint Studios with Phil Harris, Dan Gray, Lou Hutchinson as executive producers and Josh Jacobs and Olly Lambert directing.
- No release date has been set and some outlets have speculated a 2027 premiere window; the project signals a strategic push by Apple into romance-focused storytelling outside conventional competition-based reality formats.
