The second unscripted reality show, Badly in Love is billed as a “wildly authentic romance reality show.” The series is unlike other dating reality shows as it will test how far the contestants — who love their friends and hometowns — will go for their loved ones.
As for Welcome, Now Get the show is in a comedy format based on a Japanese show titled Batoumura which was created by Nobuyuki Sakuma for his YouTube Channel Nobrock TV. This brings a hilarious concept that includes comedians visiting an unwelcoming village and managing to navigate their lives.
While the creatives will make every possible attempt to make their stay miserable. Koji Higashino is set to host the series with director and producer, Sakuma. In addition to the aforementioned unscripted shows, Netflix’s Japan slate for 2025 also includes a period drama called Last Samurai Standing.
