Age of Attraction is not your run-of-the-mill dating series.
With the help of Age of Attraction hosts Nick Viall and Natalie Joy, the new Netflix show challenges contestants to find their love match without knowing how old they are.
“People have gotten lonelier and lonelier, and I think their perception of who’s an eligible mate has been warped. With Age of Attraction, we’re also creating this environment to encourage people to really focus on compatibility,” Nick told Netflix’s Tudum.
On the show, 40 singles ranging from 22 to 60 years old will have the chance to forge authentic relationships based solely on true compatibility. While age gap relationships can be controversial, Nick and Natalie know a thing or two about making it work. Nick, 45, is 18 years older than Natalie, who is 27. The couple married in 2024 and share one child.
“There’s not a lot of positive information out there about age-different relationships,” Natalie said. “But watching this show, you just see these beautiful relationships unfold and realize that age really doesn’t matter. It goes out the window completely.”
Here is everything we know about where Age of Attraction was filmed.
According to Netflix, the series was filmed in Whistler and Vancouver in Canada.
Viewers will note a lot of the series takes place in the outdoors, highlighting Canada’s beautiful landscape. Filming mainly took place in Brew Creek Centre, a secluded nature sanctuary surrounded by nature in Whistler. Other parts of the show were also filmed at Queen Elizabeth Park and the wedding venue Pemberton Weddings & Events in Pemberton Valley.
O’Connell told Deadline they hoped to set the show apart from other dating shows that typically take place on tropical islands.
“If you think about someone of a certain age, you know, not 19 years old, wants to go on a nice retreat, we were trying to create a very high-end resort type situation where you would really be able to enjoy nature and do lots of outdoorsy things. It was nice to shoot somewhere that you haven’t seen a million times on reality TV,” they said.
Age of Attraction episodes 1-5 are streaming now on Netflix, with new episodes airing March 18 and the finale airing March 25.
