\n

2025’s a big year for late bloomers finding love on reality TV<\/a>. First, there was the Korean reality show<\/a> Better Late Than Single<\/a>, and now there’s Are You My First?, Hulu<\/a>‘s latest unscripted series from the producers of Love Island USA<\/a>. Hosted by Bachelor<\/a> alums Kaitlyn Bristowe<\/a> and Colton Underwood<\/a>, the new reality series<\/a> is a classic tropical dating show that takes a bunch of hot people and drops them into a villa to flirt and fall in love. However, the stakes are higher because they’re all looking for their first (physical, at least) love.<\/p>\n

Like its international counterpart, the surprising sincerity of Are You My First? belies its eyebrow-raising title (and Iain Stirling-style voiceover narration). Especially after a summer of intense reality drama<\/a>, the cast of this series feels like a breath of fresh air, with a handful of ready-made TV personalities<\/a> (and alums from other shows) sprinkled in. Leave your expectations at the door; there are way fewer corny challenges and way more genuine conversations (and sex-education trivia) than you’d expect.<\/p>\n

To build out its roster of virgins, Hulu found hopeful singles including L.A. models, Florida entrepreneurs, a pageant queen, a romantasy<\/a> author, and a handful of Mormons<\/a>. Below, read on to meet the cast of Are You My First?<\/a>.<\/p>\n
