The new season drops today, once again stranding singles on a remote island where the only way out is to pair up and escape to Paradise. Expect the franchise’s signature no-filter flirting and high-stakes choices―only this time, everything moves faster and hits harder.
Returning hosts Hong Jin-kyung, Lee Da-hee, KyuHyun, Hanhae and DEX are already dubbing it “the craziest season yet.” Across Episodes 1-4, viewers can look forward to shock Paradise pairings and a no-brakes Truth Game designed to spike the dopamine. A brand-new rule set―so surprising even the veteran panel asked, “Wait, how does this system work?”―cranks the temperature in both Inferno and Paradise.
The flirting wars get fierce as cast members lay their cards on the table and feelings swing in real time, colliding more explosively than in any past season. This year introduces the show’s most audacious couple challenge to date, a wildcard “trigger” that shakes up everyone’s game. And the always-buzzy Truth Game returns with tougher rules engineered for maximum chaos. One late-arriving single even leaves the panel speechless―consider us intrigued.
Producers Kim Jaewon, Kim Junghyun and Park Suji tease, “The Truth Game that’s fueled so much conversation each season is back in a new format. There will be plenty of moments where choices and emotions defy prediction―definitely keep an eye on Truth Game nights.”
The main trailer’s blunt one-liners―“I’ve decided this: let’s only get drunk four times a year. Tonight might be one of them,” and “I’m not sorry. Not at all.”―have fans wondering which flashpoint scenes sparked them. With the largest cast in series history, the producers promise the most dynamic mix of personalities yet―and fresh Inferno rules to match.
"Single’s Inferno" Season 5 debuts four episodes today at 5 p.m., with additional episodes rolling out every Tuesday.
