‘The Boyfriend’ Returns for 2nd Season this January on Netflix

Every snowflake is unique — and so are the love stories that will unfold among a group of men at a snowy retreat in The Boyfriend Season 2.

Japan’s first reality series to explore same-sex romance returns on Jan. 13, shifting its location to wintertime Hokkaido, where ten men will stay in a cozy lodge dubbed the Green Room. Surrounded by a blanket of white snow, these men will discover both what they want in a relationship and who they each want to become as a partner. From hitting the slopes together to sharing intimate conversations in a makeshift igloo, what better place to fall in love than a winter wonderland? 

Of course, it’s not all hot springs and leisurely trips to the sauna. The group is tasked with operating a peppermint-colored coffee truck, taking turns in shifts of two. (Yes, it gets pretty snug in there.) Over 15 episodes, the housemates hope to develop slow-burn connections that are worth the wait — much like the drip coffee they serve on the truck.

Ranging in age from 20 to 40, the men will live together for two months in the hopes of forming lifelong connections — and maybe, of finding the boyfriend of their dreams. Meet the group below before the next chapter of The Boyfriend begins.

The second season of “The Boyfriend” premieres January 13 worldwide on Netflix.
