Deep Fake Love (Spanish; Castilian: Falso Amor) is a Spanish reality television dating show hosted by Raquel Sánchez-Silva that premiered on Netflix in July 2023. The series tests the relationships of five couples by separating them and tempting them to connect with other people. Over time, the couples are shown videos of their partners interacting with other people, which may or may not have been manipulated using deepfake software.
Deep Fake Love depicts five couples, four heterosexual and one gay, who have been together for varying periods of time and are challenged to test the strength of their relationships. The couples are immediately separated, with one partner from each sequestered in a house known as Mars, and the others in a house known as Venus. Both of the houses contain a bevy of attractive single people eager to connect with the contestants. Over time, the separated couples are brought to the White Room to meet host Raquel Sánchez-Silva. One by one, they sit in the Chair of Truth and are shown videos of their partners interacting with other people, which may or may not have been manipulated using deepfake software. They must choose whether or not they believe the videos to be true, and the couple who makes the least amount of mistakes in their choices wins $100K euros.[1] [2]
