Season 3 of The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On, schedule to release on Netflix on December 4, follows six couples at a turning point in their relationships. One partner in each couple gives an ultimatum: marry or break up. Over eight weeks, the couples separate and try "trial marriages" with other participants, giving them a chance to explore their relationships and resolve doubts.
Hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, the series offers each couple the opportunity to assess whether they want to remain with their original partner, pursue a new connection, or leave the experience alone.
