EX BEST THING

Internal development

Love, money, and second chances collide in Ex Best Thing, a high-stakes reality social experiment where three divorced couples put the ultimate twist on matchmaking. Each ex-spouse takes on the role of a "motivated matchmaker" — tasked with setting up their former partner with a new love in order to free themselves from paying alimony. But this isn’t just about cutting a check every month—each matchmaker has an urgent reason to reclaim their money: they want to buy a home, propose to a new partner, or finally launch a dream that alimony has been holding back.

Who knows you better than your ex? They’ve seen their former spouse at their best and worst, know exactly what makes them irresistible—and what sent them packing. Some will try to help their ex fix the very things that ended their relationship, while others will seek out someone better suited to handle their ex’s quirks. And while some are eager to move on, others find themselves unexpectedly conflicted. Old chemistry resurfaces, past wounds reopen, and one of the three matchmakers faces a deeper truth: they may not want to say goodbye after all.

As new romances take shape and exes navigate their most complicated relationship yet, they must answer one final question—does gaining financial freedom mean losing their ex forever?
