TLC is no stranger to bold, conversation-starting reality shows, and the network’s latest offering is no exception. “Virgins” is a new docuseries that follows four adults in their 30s and 40s as they attempt to “navigate love, intimacy, and self-discovery.” They do all of this while confronting the fact that they have never had sex.

Meet the Cast of TLC’s ‘Virgins’: Four Brave Late Bloomers

The heart of “Virgins” is its diverse and relatable cast, each bringing a unique story to the screen:

• Deanne, 35 (Los Angeles, CA): Deanne is beautiful and ambitious. But, she has a tendency to quickly dismiss potential suitors. Per the TLC website, this is a habit she’s hoping to change through the show. After years of keeping her guard up and always finding a reason to walk away, she’s finally ready to lower her defenses and open herself up to dating and new experiences.
  
• Alex, 34 (Reading, PA): Living in his parents’ attic and driving his mother’s minivan, Alex is being gently pushed by his sisters to become more independent. For him, “Virgins” represents a chance to break out of his comfort zone and seriously pursue a romantic relationship for the first time.
  
• Rhasha, 42 (Jacksonville, FL): Following a divorce and an impressive 80-pound weight loss, Rhasha is determined to reenter the dating scene. Remarkably, she has remained celibate throughout her life—including during her marriage. She is using the show as a way to challenge her long-held personal boundaries and explore her sexuality.
  
• Sonali, 37 (Hollywood, CA): Raised in a conservative South Asian household, Sonali has big romantic fantasies, but little dating experience. She admits to deep-seated fears of intimacy, shaped by her upbringing. “Virgins” will document her efforts to push past these fears and create space for romantic connection.

What to Expect and How to Watch the Debut Season

“Virgins” tackles a deeply personal and often stigmatized topic, but TLC promises that it’s about much more than its provocative title. The series doesn’t just focus on the physical.

“Virgins is about embracing vulnerability and pushing past fears, where the real climax is confidence, connection, and self-love,” TLC shared in a release. 

The network promises that the cast of “Virgins” takes “big swings” to finally experience intimacy and go “all the way.” Audiences can also expect a blend of candid moments, personal growth, and surprising lessons about love and life later than expected.
