The UK's first ever gay dating show, I Kissed a Boy was a resounding success, green-lit almost immediately for a version that saw queer, bisexual, and lesbian women able to get in on the action of the refreshing dating show. Now with a release date confirmed and the cast revealed – here come the girls! We explain how to watch I Kissed a Girl online from anywhere below.
With Dannii Minogue returning to play Cupid once again, 10 girls will be matched up and looking to find that spark from the first kiss this summer. Taking part in "kiss-off" ceremonies, the girls will be able to decide whether or not they wish to stick with their original partner, or save their kiss for someone else that might have caught their eye.
New girls will be entering the Italian masseria all the time, with BBC having already revealed the first girl who will shake things up in the idyllic countryside. 22-year-old fashion graduate Eva will appear in episode 2, while we're being introduced to the likes of professional footballer Georgia and self-branded "baby gay" Demi who has only been out for two years.
With true love said to only be a kiss away, I Kissed a Boy proved beautifully diverse and wholesome last year, so I can't wait to watch I Kissed a Girl. Find out everything you need to know below, including streaming options and more.

Who is Narrating I Kissed a Girl?
While the iconic Layton Williams narrated I Kissed a Boy, the girls are getting a voice that speaks for their experience. I Kissed a Girl will be narrated by Charley Marlowe, presenter and social media star.
Speaking on taking up the mantle of narrator for the show, Charley Marlowe said: "My job as voice over is to provide another layer of queerness to the series, so you're not only watching lesbians, but you're listening to them as well."

I Kissed a Girl was filmed in September 2023 following applications to be involved in the show closing on August 7.
How many episodes of I Kissed a Girl will there be?
In the grand scheme of reality dating shows, like Love Island, where new episodes air daily for eight long weeks, I Kissed a Boy was short but sweet. Staggering the release of episodes across four weeks, I Kissed a Boy was just eight episodes long, plus the "Reunion" episode.
However, in the official press release for I Kissed a Girl, it was confirmed for a "bumper ten part series". This includes its special reunion episode.
Is there going to be a second season of I Kissed a Boy?
While I Kissed a Girl has been reported as a spin-off, it appears as though the lesbian dating show is also what news outlets are referring to when talking about I Kissed a Boy being renewed for a second season. Currently, then, the I Kissed a Girl iteration seems to be the only show in the works right now. If success for the new, inclusive franchise continues though, we could expect to see a new group of boys arriving in the masseria once again.
