Yes, ‘Pop the Balloon’ is back and louder than ever. The format? Keep your balloon and stay in the game. Lose it and your romantic journey ends on the spot. This time around, the chaos unfolds live with Yvonne Orji at the helm as the host. She spoke on how her expertise in acting will help in her role as host, saying:

“After playing the ‘unlucky in love’ Molly Carter for 5 season on Insecure, I know a thing or two about looking for love in a hopeless place. Hopefully the singles on ‘Pop the Balloon Live’ will have much more success.”

“As executive producers were proud to support this next chapter and can’t wait for both new and longtime fans to experience it. Yvonne is engaging, witty and authentic and were looking forward to her serving as the host for the reimagined version at Netflix!”
