April 7 (UPI) — Six couples must decide what’s next for them when one partner is ready to get married, but the other is not in The Ultimatum, Netflix’s new reality show addiction.
Hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, the series follows these couples as one partner gives the other an ultimatum on marriage. Those given the ultimatum will then have eight weeks to decide if they want to get married or move on.
