Single's Inferno 3 has been the talk of the town ever since Netflix revealed the season renewal for its popular reality dating show. The show's concept revolves around a group of single men and women who are put together on a stranded island, and their only escape to Paradise is as a couple. The natural competitive environment spices up the show with the dramatic scenarios and events that fall out between the contestants.
Season 3 of the show premiered on December 12, 2023, and its several intriguing factors already have the viewers glued to their seats. Unlike its previous two seasons, several of the rules have shifted, and excitingly, one of the show's hosts is Dex, a former contestant in Singles Inferno season 2. As Single's Inferno 3 continues to build the viewers' anticipation, they can hardly wait for the release of the show's consecutive episodes.

With only three episodes released so far, Single's Inferno 3 has already shocked the audience with the fast progression of dynamics between the contestants. The show's producer, Kim Jae-won, shared that he was shocked at the pace at which the contestants were moving, and it was obviously due to changes in the rules that were followed in the first two seasons.
Single's Inferno 3: New Rules
After much criticism for its second season being too similar to its first, Single's Inferno 3's production team decided to switch it up a little. While the primary rules, such as not revealing one's identity and other personal details to fellow contestants, still stand true, a few changes have shocked the audience.
In the first two seasons, the contestants were only allowed to go to Paradise towards the show's end. However, Single's Inferno 3 allows couples to go to Paradise within 30 minutes of meeting each other, naturally increasing the sense of competitiveness among the contestants. Producer Kim Jae-won added that the audience will find out about a hidden rule in the show as they watch it.
Additionally, Netflix's unscripted lead for Korea, Yoo Ki-hwan, stated that Single's Inferno 3's Paradise isn't what it used to be in the earlier two seasons. In an interview with Tudum, he said,
"What used to be ‘Paradise’ and ‘Inferno’ will change completely. Especially when it comes to ‘Paradise’ — it won’t just be a luxurious resort, but more of a special and intimate place where the couples have a chance to dive deeper into each other’s emotions, elevating the romance."
