If you like boys, coffee, romance, or a combination of all three, Netflix has the show for you. The groundbreaking, Japanese reality show, The Boyfriend, just returned for Season 2, and we’re already obsessed. It’s Japan’s first-ever same-sex dating show, and we’ve got all of the tea on what you need to know about the new season.
The Boyfriend Season 2 is streaming now on Netflix
If you’re not familiar with The Boyfriend, we’ve got you covered. The show follows a group of gay and bisexual men who live in a fabulous house. They take turns running a coffee truck in teams of two. Meanwhile, the rest of them hang out together in the house, which they call the Green Room.
In Season 1, the Green Room was a beach house. For Season 2, they’re doing a total switch-up, sending ten new guys to lodge in snowy Hokkaido for a cozy, winter escape. Throughout the season, a panel of celebrities will provide commentary on all of the action.
Of course, there’s still coffee on deck. This time, they’ve got a little peppermint-colored truck. As the guys navigate their lives as roommates and coworkers, they’ll forge new friendships, potential love connections, or maybe just a passion for coffee. It’s sweet, and executive producer Dai Ota explained the importance of telling these LGBTQ stories. It’s all a part of Netflix’s massive reality TV schedule for 2026.
“Being the first same-sex romance reality show in Japan, we paid careful attention to ensure that the story was an authentic portrayal of these relationships,” Dai said in a statement.
“In Season 1, we showed not just romance, but their friendship and meaningful connections with one another. In Season 2, we will continue to showcase their compassion and stories of growth, with more unique perspectives and backstories.”
The Boyfriend Season 2 is streaming on Netflix, and new batches of episodes drop every Tuesday.
