Love, or the search for it, transcends borders, and TLC’s Match Me Abroad returns to prove just that. The series begins its second season this Sunday, June 22, at 10 PM ET, with an episode titled “Let the Flames Begin.” This season opener throws three new American singles into the deep end of international dating, each hoping a change of scenery brings a change of luck.
The episode follows single mother Monica as she heads to Sao Paolo, Brazil, in pursuit of her ideal man. Then there is Amber, who, despite having been engaged three times, still holds out hope for romance, this time in Dublin, Ireland. Finally, heartbroken Harold sets off for Singapore, looking for a fresh start at love.
The show relies on international matchmakers to help these Americans in their quest. These experts are tasked with doing more than just setting up dates; they also need to break down past barriers that prevented these singles from finding lasting connections at home. They chaperone dates, help with language barriers, and coach their clients through the challenges of foreign courtship.
This season looks to focus on the grit and determination needed to find the right person, no matter where they are in the world.
