Match Me in Miami season 1: What fans can expect

Match Me in Miami season 1 showcases the struggles of the six matchmakers in finding the perfect match for single people. Recently, Simone shared her experience working as a matchmaker in Miami with Inside South Florida, stating:

“Miami is so different. It's interesting what people prioritize. I will say Miami has the glitz and the glamour. It's a little flashier. What happens is the really good people, even people who are really cute, that are in Miami are not used to kind of presenting the flash. They feel like they can get lost.”

In addition, during an interview with LION Lunch Hour recently, Laura Jacobs shared that not only will the show feature the journey of the people who find love, but also the journey of the matchmakers.

According to her, fans will be able to learn more about them and their hard work. Moreover, she explained how matchmaking is better than using dating apps for finding love.

Since they know the background of the individual, they only match two people if they are sure about their preferences. According to the synopsis description for the first episode of Match Me in Miami season 1:

“Tiff, Taty and Elsa adjust to Nelly's probation; Elsa tells Nelly that Laura has advised them not to speak to her; clients Don and Jesyka get serious; Devyn announces she's moving back to New York; Laura and Nelly's conflict comes to a head.”

Will these single individuals be able to find true love through the help of the matchmakers? Find this out and more on season 1 of Match Me in Miami, available on the Roku Channel.
