Open up with S3 as we help our contestants find love every Monday at 21:00 in the new season of The Longest Date. Hosted by SAFTA nominee Christopher Jaftha, the show follows 16 sexy and successful singles in their quest to meet a compatible partner in this romantic-comedy reality show.

The series matches 16 singles into 8 couples according to compatibility as they embark on an epic journey to experience the most extreme adventures Kwa-Zulu Natal has to offer, all the while trying to get their date to fall in love with them and a chance at winning R100 000 cash prize.

In each episode the viewers will see the couples attempting extreme tasks, taking them out of their comfort zone, with the lowest scoring couples being eliminated from the game. Ultimately, one couple will win the cash prize, but will their budding romance stand the final test?

A game of chance will give one of them an excruciating decision, share the money with their date or keep it all for

themselves.

The show is set on the breath-taking beautiful landscape of the Oribi Gorge, in Kwa-Zulu Natal, and our couples will experience the best the country has to offer in their activities from shark diving, mud-rallying and every other extreme experience in between.
