Hulu's 'Love Overboard' forces 22 singles to choose between luxury and manual labor

LOS ANGELES -- Hulu is inviting viewers to sink or swim in the name of love!

The official trailer and key art debuted today for "Love Overboard," a high-seas reality dating experiment produced by Alex Cooper's Unwell Productions and Jeff Jenkins Productions, the creative force behind "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives."

Premiering all nine episodes on Thursday, March 26, the series anchors 22 singles on a luxury yacht where the search for romance is governed by a social hierarchy.

The trailer introduces the season's plot: those who stay on the top deck enjoy the ship's finest amenities, while those on the bottom deck must serve as the crew.

From scrubbing toilets to cleaning the deck, the "Downsiders" face an emotional journey as they wait for their romantic rivals. "Why would I want to pick up after people that I think I'm sexier than?" contestant Bella asks through tears in the footage.

Host Gabby Windey oversees the "messy" proceedings, revealing a shocking twist where those on the bottom deck must break up an existing couple to gain passage to the upper deck. The trailer also teases the arrival of six late-joining "Shipwreckers," whose presence threatens to rock the boat for the original 16-member cast.

As the trailer drama reaches a boiling point, only one question remains: Will the contestants set sail in love on their journey or go overboard?

A special preview of the premiere episode will air Sunday, March 22, on ABC at 10 p.m. EDT/PDT following the premiere of "The Bachelorette." Watch all nine episodes on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ on March 26.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Hulu, Disney+ and this ABC station.
