Can real closeness arise when people leave everyday life and all distractions behind? The second season of "Alone Together" explores this question. In the SRF dating show, four couples put together by experts move to a remote island for eight days. At the end of their time together, the question arises: will they leave the island alone or will they decide on a future together?

The couples were put together by psychologist and couples therapist Caroline Fux and relationship coach Esther Bischofberger. According to SRF, they select the potential matches based on personality, life goals and relationship expectations.

TV review of "Fun Fatale"

SRF has a comedy show with women only - at last.

Filming for the second season of "Alone Together" took place in summer 2025. Relationship coach Bischofberger passed away in May of this year. She had cancer and was 66 years old. However, according to SRF, the broadcast of the second season has been agreed with relatives. A memorial plaque will be shown at the end of the first episode in memory of Bischofberger.

No matches in the first season

The first season of "Alone Together" aired on SRF at the beginning of 2025. However, none of the couples stayed together after the show. This also led to criticism. The couples were poorly matched, it was said. "I found the season one thing above all: very boring!" commented someone on YouTube under the last episode of the format.

The matching process was "comprehensive", SRF justified its criticism to the news portal "Nau". "All singles had several conversations with the experts and completed various psychological and intuitive tests", SRF continued.
