Will there be a second Dex-Lee Gwan-hee? ‘Solo Hell 4’ confirmed to be released on January 14 [Official]

Netflix‘s entertainment show ‘Solo Hell’ will return with season 4 on January 14, 2025.

‘Solo Hell’​ is an honest and hot dating reality show for singles that takes place on a remote island, ‘Hell Island’, that only couples can leave. It is Netflix’s representative entertainment show that has heated up viewers around the world every year since its first season in 2021.

Season 1 previously made a splash by entering the Global TOP 10 TV Shows (Non-English) category for the first time as a Korean entertainment program immediately after its release. Season 2 also ranked in the same category for 4 consecutive weeks, recording a cumulative viewership of 65.08 million, and Season 3, which received a heated response with its unconventional rules and unexpected relationships that broke the existing mold, occupied the upper ranks of the Global TOP 10 TV Shows (Non-English) category for 5 weeks and made the TOP 10 list in 31 countries. In particular, each season created stars such as Cha Hyun-seung, Dex (Kim Jin-young), Shin Seul-gi, Lee Kwan-hee, Yoon Ha-jung, and Choi Hye-sun, leading to syndrome-level popularity.

As the first Korean entertainment series on Netflix to reach a fourth season, PD Kim Jae-won of ‘Solo Hell’ said, “I am grateful to be reaching a fourth season. “I am so grateful to the viewers who never forget me and come back every time a new season comes out,” he said. “Now that we’ve made it to Season 4, I’ll survive until Season 10 and aim to become the longest-running dating program in Korea.”

Amidst all the attention focused on the new season, the teaser poster that was released has raised expectations for the unpredictable and highly stimulating dating reality show. The teaser trailer that was released alongside it also boosts dopamine. Behind the narration, “Love is a cruel survival,” the contestants’ fierce competition to win a ticket to heaven foreshadows even more intense couple matching. With the bold skinship to win love, thrilling plotting, and honest conversations between the cast members who don‘t hide their emotions, the line ”love is stimulating dopamine“ raises expectations for another invitation to the ”hottest hell in the world“ that will immerse viewers in the show.

In this ”Solo Hell“ as well, both hell and heaven will shake up love and conflict. PD Kim Jae-won, who said that it is ”the hottest season ever,“ said, ”In particular, the nights in Heaven were incredibly intense. You can feel how honest, bold, and unadorned the cast members of Season 4 are. Thanks to this, I think this season has evolved one step further as a dating program. He asked for “great anticipation.”

Season 4 of “Solo Hell” will be released exclusively on Netflix on January 14, 2025.
