The series follows four couples in a tropical paradise exploring polyamory. That’s three or more people, not the typical two, in a mutually consensual romantic relationship. Evans’ own experiences in ethical non-monogamy fueled his desire to be part of the show when he heard that it was in the works at Peacock.
His personal version of a vision board included being “the guide for a destination dating show that was inherently queer … and not your typical heteronormative experience,” he said.
When the opportunity came to him to host Couple to Throuple, he didn’t hesitate: “I was, like, ‘I will accept this role.’”
Over the course of the show, four couples select men and women from a group of singles to join them in their relationships.
The official trailer for Couple to Throuple notes that it’s a reality show with an open mind, sex and relationship expert Shamyra Howard, and, as Evans quips in the teaser, “a bed big enough for three.”
Reflecting on how he navigated challenging choices and shifts in his own intimate relationships, Evans told NBC Insider, “I wish that I would have had Dr. Shamyra and this beautiful location with these beautiful people.”
Luckily, these couples have that support as they explore a new kind of relationship.
“This show is going to surprise from beginning to end,” he told NBC Insider.
That includes the choices couples make over the course of the series that lead to twists, turns, and plenty of drama.
“The goal here was to broaden people’s horizons, to open their minds, and to provide them a safe place to try something different,” Evans said.
He paused, then added, “I can't wait for you to see how it turns out.”
Couple to Throuple premieres on Peacock on Feb. 8.
