The sensationally popular reality dating series, Single’s Inferno, is returning for a fourth season. The hottest and flirtiest singles search for love on a deserted island once again. The only way to escape? Finding a perfect match for a romantic night in “paradise.”

Since its release in 2021, the series has been heating up every winter with sizzling romance. Season 3, which aired in December 2023, surprised viewers with its unexpected rule changes and twists, straying from the formula of previous seasons. Due to its success, Single’s Inferno became the first Netflix Korea unscripted series to be renewed for a fourth season.

Single’s Inferno has been well-recognized in Korea and beyond across its three seasons. Upon its release, Season 1 became the first Korean unscripted series to make the Netflix Global Top 10 TV Series (Non-English) list. Season 2 sustained its popularity, remaining on the same list for four consecutive weeks, and clocked an impressive 65.08 million cumulative viewing hours, surpassing the previous season’s record. Season 3 continued the trend, maintaining its place in the upper ranks of the Global Top 10 list (Non-English) for five consecutive weeks from its debut to the final episode, and secured a spot in the Top 10 list in 31 countries. Breaking records for three seasons straight, Single’s Inferno leaves fans eager to see what Season 4 will bring. 

The series has also catapulted several of its cast members into fame, including Song Ji-a and Cha Hyun-seung from Season 1; Dex (Kim Jin-young) and Shin Seul-ki from Season 2; and Lee Gwan-hee, Yun Ha-jeong, and Choi Hye-seon from Season 3. Cast members, like Hye-seon, often experience an exponential increase in their social media following, as evidenced by her follower count skyrocketing from just under 2,000 to a staggering 1.6 million — an impressive 825-fold growth.¹ The producers liken casting participants to selecting athletes for the national team and have pledged to continue featuring the hottest and most alluring people in Korea, heightening the anticipation for Season 4’s cast.

“We will continue to do our best and make sure Season 4 is even more entertaining for you by paying closer attention to the fans’ feedback on Season 3, both positive and negative,” said Kim Jae-won, producer of Single’s Inferno.

With Season 4 underway, catch the first three seasons of Single’s Inferno, only on Netflix.
