Kiss Bang Love is an Australian reality television dating show that aired on the Seven Network, debuting on 24 May 2016. Created by the producers behind Married at First Sight, this program is adapted from a Danish original bearing the same title.
The show experienced poor viewership from the outset, placing fourth during its time slot and witnessing a steady drop in audience numbers across its six episodes. It was labeled a "ratings failure," and soon after the final installment, the Seven Network announced there would be no continuation of the series. In December 2020, reruns were broadcast on Sunday afternoons on 7flix.
Premise
The format involves six singles paired with twelve potential partners, predominantly strangers but also including some familiar faces or previous romantic interests. Rather than conventional dating activities, the participants engage primarily in kissing to determine which partner they will select for a romantic weekend retreat.
