What is Sexy Beasts?
Sexy Beasts is a new dating show from Netflix in which all the single people looking for love are disguised with prosthetics so that they have to choose a mate based on personality alone.
The disguises are face masks of animals and other creatures (as well as a devil there are aliens and insects among the singletons), which means that while the contestants can see their potential mates’ bodies as they are dressed in normal clothes, they have no idea what their faces look like.

The elaborate masks and detailed make-up designs put those on The Masked Singer to shame – each were designed by prosthetic artist Kristyan Mallet, who has worked on movies including Mission: Impossible – Fallout and The Witches as well as TV series The Nevers and the upcoming adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman.
Each episode of Sexy Beasts features a new single looking for love who has to select from three potential mates. The masked couples go on dates together, leading to such surreal scenes as a baboon and a devil on a rollercoaster, and a beaver and a leopard practicing clay pigeon shooting. It is only when a contestant has picked their potential partner that their faces are finally revealed.
There are six episodes to enjoy of this first season, and Variety has confirmed that a second season is in the works and will be broadcast later this year.
