'Couple To Throuple' Offers A New Look At Polyamory

Dating shows have become a bit redundant as of late with similar concepts on separate streaming channels, but Peacock has something fresh and bingeworthy that’s serving up drama, sex and new propositions.

“Couple To Throuple” follows “four curious couples through the world of polyamory as they experiment with bringing a third partner into their relationship.” Access Hollywood correspondent Scott Evans and sex and relationship expert Shamrya Howard are hosting the fiery series, assisting four couples along the process of learning if the polyamorous lifestyle is for them.

HuffPost spoke to Evans and Howard about the series, their own interests and expertise on polyamory and what they hope audiences learn from the show.

Also, why does it have to be one girl looking for a guy or vice versa? It was very clear we all have been ready to see this television.

Which couple do you think strengthened their relationship the most during the season, and who do you think needs a bit more work and why?

Evans: I think everyone who participated in this experience were asking questions
