Love Turns Up the Heat Again in “Single’s Inferno Season 5”

Netflix is cranking the thermostat back to high as Single’s Inferno blazes into Season 5 on January 20, 2026 — and the brand-new teaser is already setting sparks flying with a fresh cast of flirty hopefuls and the delicious romantic tension fans can’t get enough of.

As Netflix’s first Korean reality series to reach a fifth season, Single’s Inferno has firmly cemented its global fandom. The concept remains delightfully dangerous: a group of attractive singles is dropped on a “desert island” — aka Inferno — and the only way out is to leave as a couple. Since Season 1 broke into Netflix’s Global Top 10 (Non-English) TV list, each season has kept the momentum going — with Season 3 charting in 31 countries and Season 4 hitting a record-breaking debut week.

Naturally, expectations are sky-high for this new batch of romantic risk-takers. “All I can say is that we are deeply grateful,” shares director Kim Jae-won, who has guided the show since day one. “We’re here because of every single participant and all the fans cheering them on.”

The teaser wastes no time raising the intrigue. We meet the latest lineup as they step onto a luxurious new island — but things quickly shift from sweet banter to sharp honesty and fiery chemistry. Paradise looks more tempting than ever… and Inferno? Hotter. Darker. Wilder.

As always, the heart of the series lies in its roller-coaster romances — raw emotions, bold confessions, and connections that twist when you least expect. Director Kim reveals that Season 5 leans into that fluttery, heart-pounding feeling of first love, promising bigger personalities, richer storylines, and deeper emotional sparks than ever before.

Brace yourself. The games of love begin again when Single’s Inferno Season 5 drops January 20 — only on Netflix.
