Love in the Wild season 2 full cast list - Current age, Instagram, and more 

Love in the Wild season 2, which premiered on NBC on June 5, 2012, is a timeless favorite, sparking renewed interest over a decade later. Set against the picturesque landscapes of the Dominican Republic and Hawaii, this season can be streamed on Amazon Prime Video.

Renowned actress and model Jenny McCarthy hosted Love in the Wild season 2, replacing season 1 host, Darren McMullen. An exciting change in format was introduced in episode 1 — from competing couples to competing trios blew the fans away with double the adventure, love, and drama.

The overall concept of the game show apart from these remains relatively unchanged, however, season 2 featured 13 women and 14 men navigating challenges as a trio to test their compatibility and win the prize.

With a mightier cast of 27 as compared to the usual 20, the second season had double the fun, with double the stakes. The official synopsis of the show aptly encompasses the essence of season 2:

"Love in the Wild" returns for the show's second season with new host Jenny McCarthy, a new location in the tropical paradise of the Dominican Republic, and even wilder adventures chock-full of surprises and dramatic twists. More hearts will be broken and catfights will abound when the new crop of singles embark on their journey to find true love."
