We discuss whether there will be a Season 2 of the Netflix reality series Deep Fake Love and its renewed or canceled status.
The phrase “deep fake” will be one of those modern terms that end up getting its own definition in whatever urban dictionary we use these days.
I must admit that I am not fully up to speed with the application of this kind of technology, but if the new Indiana Jones film is anything to go by, it seems that it might not be quite as effective as you are led to believe.
Whether or not the use of deep fakes in TV and movies, and no doubt eventually real life, will threaten the very fabric of reality remains to be seen.
Being able to replicate people’s faces in an undetectable way does seem to raise a few red flags.
I imagine that AI, deep fakes, and computer sentience will pave the way for our robot overlords to take complete control, wiping out humanity and leaving the planet a desolate dystopia, with a small band of surviving humans fighting against android duplicates of themselves for the sake of the Earth’s future.
Now there’s a show I would watch.
In the meantime, we have Deep Fake Love Season 1.
The official Netflix synopsis pretty much gives you the elevator pitch for the show; it states
“Deep Fake Love is an innovative format in which five couples face deepfake technology, an artificial intelligence technique that modifies images, forcing them to differentiate what is real and what is not. In Netflix’s new reality show, produced by Cuarzo Producciones (Banijay Iberia), five couples will test their relationships and their trust, with a prize of 100,000 euros at stake.”
If you are interested in this kind of reality show, you will probably be on board with this. Without judging it in any way, there are many good-looking people in various states of undress, participating in all sexual experiences in a way that other shows of this kind might shy away from.
You can read a review of the show on Ready Steady Cut, but this deep take is here to answer whether there will be a season 2 of Deep Fake Love.
Will there be a Season 2 of Deep Fake Love – renewed or canceled status
It’s early days for this show, and at the time of writing, there is no official news of a second season of Deep Fake Love.
It will take a little time for the reviews to filter out and, more importantly, for Netflix to gather the watch time for the show. However, this mix of new tech and reality dating shows may arrive at the right time, offering fans of this kind of thing a new approach.
I imagine an audience exists for the show, and despite what you may feel about the genre, it’s hard not to acknowledge that people still lap it up.
The unique application of the deep fake tech may also be a hook for viewers who want to see precisely how this can be used in TV and film, so that may also boost watch time for this show, with curious casual viewers tuning in.
If I had to guess, I would say there is a good chance of this show being renewed, but who am I to say? For all you know, this article has been written by a deep fake AI hoping to encourage you all to watch this.
It makes you think.
