Friends to Lovers? is an American reality television series, which premiered on January 12, 2015, on Bravo.[1] Announced in January 2014,[2] the hour-long series features a few couples of friends who are eager to "leave the comfort of the 'friend zone' behind" and try to develop their friendship into exclusive romantic relationships.[3]
"'Friends to Lovers?' is a guaranteed roller coaster ride that will make you cringe from awkwardness one second while having you believing in true love the next," said Lara Spotts, Vice President of Development of the network.

Reception
Brian Lowry wrote a mild review for Variety by saying, "Too many reality shows have the chutzpah to refer to themselves as “experiments,” but the issues broached by Friends to Lovers? might actually qualify as one [...] if only the program could break out, just a little, from its too-familiar approach."[4] Ray Rahman from Entertainment Weekly said, "Too many of the cast members are insufferable to the point of undateable.... But there are some bright spots".[5]
