The Hell of Being Single, Season 4: Everything We Know
Reality fans who haven't checked out "Singles Inferno" yet have a great opportunity to get acquainted with the hit Korean dating show. The Season 3 finale aired on Netflix on January 9, bringing an end to the series' most intense love triangle (and general romantic competition) to date. In the latest installment, the show's central concept has also changed: young, single, handsome men are placed on a deserted island, "Inferno," and must keep their age and job a secret from their romantic partners. If they find a partner, the contestants become a couple and can leave for a luxurious date in "paradise."

"There are a lot of dating reality shows these days, but I think 'Singles Inferno' has left its mark on the genre and could go on for many seasons if it continues to differentiate itself and try new themes and tones," co-producer Kim Jung Hyun Kim Jung-hyun, co-producer of the show, said. What the next season will be like will be determined once it is allowed to air." At this point, we are just thankful for all the love this third season has received."

"Single's Inferno" has been a regular on Netflix's release calendar for the past three years. Each season was filmed in the summer and premiered for streaming in mid-December, so barring delays, season 4 is expected to arrive in late 2024.
One area of fan interest is whether the show will add new members to its host panel, a group of individuals who react to the show and share real-time insights about the scenes. In Seasons 1 and 2, comedian Hong Jin-kyung, actress Lee Dahi, Super Junior member Kyuhyun, and rapper Hanhae served as hosts, and Season 2 contestant Dex (aka Kim Jin-young) joined the show in Season 3. After debuting on the show, Dex appeared on other shows (including Netflix's "Zombieverse") and later won the Rookie Entertainer Award. When he joined Season 3, his experience as an Inferno member brought a breath of fresh air to the host's interludes. Whether or not other show alumni will join the panel will likely depend on their success outside of the show, but many fans are calling for Dex's return in Season 4 and the addition of Yoon Ha-jung from Season 3 to the panel.
