The Longest Date is a high-octane, extreme adventure dating competition that starts on SABC 3 in February 2019. The show will be hosted by Chris Jafhta.
In a first of its kind, The Longest Date takes 16 diverse, interesting, but unlucky-in-love singles and matches them into couples. The eight new couples then embark on a journey to experience the most extreme adventures Mpumalanga has to offer, all the while trying to make a love match.
The Longest Date revels in extreme adventure, but the best moments come from couples finding love in the most unexpected locations. The Longest Date requires that the couples put themselves on the line, both figuratively and literally.
Over the course of 13 episodes, The Longest Date will takes 16 ordinary, single South Africans on an epic journey to find love and claim the grand prize of one hundred thousand rand. Their challenges will include rock climbing, abseiling, white water rafting and even eating weird stuff – at the same time as trying to forge a meaningful relationship with their partners.
Fraught with drama, excitement and lots of real chemistry, viewers will watch a romantic comedy play out in real life, with a cast of real people placed into extreme conditions.
