“Put any 15 people in a room, there’s going to be clashes. What separates Lovestruck High from other shows of its kind is that it’s inclusive of the LGBTQ+ community: eight out of 15 participants identify as queer which – in 2022 – is still extremely rare in any genre. From taking a seat at the cafeteria, to homecoming, to cheer tryouts, Lovestruck High creates a perfect backdrop for finding friendship, flirting and falling in love.” Īn official synopsis from the streamer reads: “These students won’t be going back to any school as they’re fulfilling their teenage fantasy and entering the nostalgic picture-perfect world of an American high school in their search for love. Twist alert: not all of them will make it as some of the students will face expulsion. The grand finale will see one couple walk away with a cash prize of £100,000. Premiering 18 May on Prime Video, the Lindsay Lohan-narrated series follows a group of UK-based 20-somethings as they “try and find the one.”įilmed in the UK, Lovestruck High pays homage to classic American high school movies of the 90s and 00s with its aesthetic, from the blue lockers, bleachers and yellow school bus that transports the students to and from school. The LGBTQ+ singles of Lovestruck High are welcoming an inclusive new era for the reality dating genre.
