The desire to find true love is universal. The sheer number of dating sites, professional matchmakers, mobile hook-up apps and research that shows people are getting married later than ever, proving that true love is hard to find.
The Longest Date takes 16 diverse, interesting but unlucky-in-love singles and matches them into couples.
The eight new couples then embark on a journey to experience the most extreme adventures Mpumalanga has to offer, all the while trying to make a love match.
The Longest Date revels in extreme adventure, but also from couples finding love in the most unexpected locations.
The series requires the couples put themselves on the line, both figuratively and literally.
