Netflix welcomes audience members back to the hottest Inferno: Single’s Inferno Season 5 begins January 20, 2026, and a new teaser has been released that features the attractive contestants and the romance that audiences enjoy.
Single’s Inferno is the first Korean reality show on Netflix to achieve a fifth season. The reality show features flirtatious singles who are brought to a barren island known as the Inferno, from which they can only escape as a couple. Season 1 marked the debut of the original Korean non-scripted shows under the Netflix Global Top 10 TV (Non-English).
It was followed by Season 2, which maintained the performance for four weeks, Season 3, which remained in the Global Top 10 and Top 10 in 31 countries for five weeks, and Season 4, which posted a record high viewership hours in its first week, indicating its popularity among other dating reality shows.
“All I can say is that we are deeply grateful. The series has come this far thanks to all the singles from Season 1 and the fans who have rooted for them,” says Director Kim Jae-Won of XYZ Entertainment who has directed the series five times.
The tone for the teaser is thus set: a new batch of contestants gets to the special island to engage in the battle for love. The season begins with a hint of flirting, then advances to some bold and truthful sparks. There is a contrast indicated, hinting at a more exciting Paradise and an Inferno that is darker and hotter.
“Designed as a classic dating reality series, Season 5 focuses on the butterflies you feel in a romantic relationship,” says director Kim Jae-won, adding, “ You can expect much more diverse romantic arcs and unforgettable personalities. The season also explores fascinating dynamics between participants, unlike anything you’ve seen.”
