Sexy Beasts
Can love blossom behind the mask?
In a world where attraction is often based purely on looks, and dating apps encourage us to choose a potential date in a split second, Sexy Beasts uses Hollywood-style prosthetics to transform people before they go on a first date, taking their real looks out of the equation. Using personality alone, can our hopefuls find that elusive spark and meet‘ The One’?
In each episode, a lead singleton will be wooed by three potential suitors. Our‘ beasts’ date in the real world, so prepare to see some ice-skating, salsa-dancing or skateboarding beasts attempting to find love. The real faces of everyone involved are only revealed after all the dating is done. But now the lead has picked their favourite, will they have chosen someone that could be their usual‘ type’, or has dating based solely on personality led them down a different route?
