"The Ultimatum: Queer Love" is an LGBTQ+ spin-off of 2022's "The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On."

Similar to the original show, a group of couples are brought together after one member of the pair has given the other an ultimatum to get married. The couples then break up, date other contestants, and experience two trial marriages - one with their original partner and another with a new partner from the show.

At the end of the show, the couples have to choose whether to get married, break up or continue their relationship with their new partner.
