Love and wanderlust intersect beautifully in TLC’s breakout hit, Match Me Abroad. After its riveting first season, the love-sick (or perhaps just sick of love in the USA) audience is hungry for more. Will there be a second season to satiate this thirst for international amour? Let’s delve into the heart of the matter.
The Fascination of Finding Love in a Far-Off Land
Match Me Abroad isn’t your run-of-the-mill reality dating show. A delightful cocktail of popular franchises like 90 Day Fiancé, this show is an answer to those Americans who’ve hit a wall in their domestic love lives. Participants jet off to far-flung corners of the globe—think Prague, Colombia, and even good old New Jersey—to find love with the help of international matchmakers.
“There’s a strong tie of trust formed between the matchmakers and the singles,” says an avid fan, emphasizing the unique dynamics that set the show apart from its peers.
The Buzz About Season 2
Since its debut on May 14, 2023, Match Me Abroad has captivated viewers and quickly gained traction. But as of now, there’s no official word about a second season. Rumor mills are working overtime, speculating on whether the producers will bless the fans with more cross-border romantic escapades.
“Plans for a second season are not yet set in stone,” says a source close to the show. “If a second season does happen, it’s not likely to happen before 2025.”
Meet the Global Cupids
While fans eagerly await the official line-up of singles for a potential second season, we do have a preview of the international matchmakers who’ll be shaping the romantic fates. Leading the charge are Katarina Memcova, Juan Nino, and Nina Kharoufeh.
Memcova, born and raised in the idyllic streets of Prague, takes great pride in her work. “I love my job because it helps people find real happiness,” she beams.
Joining her in this whirlwind matchmaking adventure are Juan Nino and Nina Kharoufeh. Based in New Jersey but with roots in Palestine, Kharoufeh is thrilled to arrange intracontinental love connections. “I have a lot of experience with intracontinental, international, and religious weddings and am always learning,” she says.
Juan Nino, meanwhile, is the poetic bridge between reality and dreams. “Fate has a lot to do with meeting the right person,” he muses, adding a layer of spiritual mystique to the practicalities of matchmaking.

The Plot Thickens: What to Expect
What sets Match Me Abroad apart from the plethora of dating shows is its commitment to pushing participants out of their comfort zones. “The show makes people stop falling for the same old things and pushes them to find their real soulmates,” explains a fan, highlighting what keeps the viewers hooked.
Where’s That Trailer?
Eager to catch a glimpse of the new season? We are too! Unfortunately, the only visuals we have are from Season 1, which did a remarkable job of setting social media abuzz. “The teaser has spawned a plethora of conversations and speculations amongst the fans, bringing the level of excitement to an all-time high,” says a social media influencer who follows the show.
Still Believe in Matchmakers?
Despite the rise of dating apps, Match Me Abroad reinforces the enduring allure of professional matchmaking. This show proves that the ancient art is not just relevant, but absolutely essential in our modern quest for love.
Time to Pencil in That Date?
The fate of Match Me Abroad’s Season 2 may still hang in the balance, but it has already secured a special place in the hearts of those searching for love beyond their zip codes. Will you be tuning in if TLC gives us another season? Only time will tell if more Americans will find their soulmates—or at least compelling TV drama—abroad.
So while we keep our passports—and our hearts—ready for another whirlwind season, all we can do is wait, hope, and perhaps binge-watch Season 1 all over again. Stay tuned for more updates, you international lovebirds!
