What is the premise of ‘Love at First Lie’?

According to MTV, Love at First Lie will document eight couples. But there’s a catch: Some of these couples aren’t really together. In fact, they may not even know much about each other. It’s up to fellow contestants to determine which couples are fake and which ones are the real deal. Along the way, they’ll complete relationship challenges that can help weed out the con artists.

Each of the 12 episodes will conclude with a Truth Ceremony, where couples must vote off one pair. If they successfully eliminate a set of liars, $25,000 will be added to a prize money fund. The last remaining couple — real or not — will go home with the entire fund of up to $100,000. Fans at home will also have chances to guess the fake couples. It’s a bit like The Masked Singer, but there are no disguises — only lies.

‘Love at First Lie’ premiere date, time, and how to watch

Love at First Lie has a premiere date of Wednesday, Oct. 12. Fans can tune in to the premiere at 9:30 p.m. ET, right after The Challenge: Untold History. The first episode will run for an hour and a half and then continue weekly at the same time. Those who can’t tune in to watch Love at First Lie on MTV will likely be able to stream the episodes on Paramount+ and MTV’s website.
