Sweethearts took the world by storm with its ten-episode debut on Prime Video. The series followed six teenage couples in Charleston, South Carolina, as they navigated the end of high school and their final summer together. I caught up with two couples on the show, Allison and Will and Carissa and Brian, about their time there.

In the world of rehashed reality TV shows, the creators at Kinetic Content continue to reinvent the wheel by delivering yet another incredible series. It was a raw, personal, and even informative look at these couples navigating the next phase of their lives. Sure, there is drama, but this felt real, making you root for these kids as they try to figure out life. If you haven’t watched the show yet, this is your sign to sit down and binge-watch it all.  

What is Sweethearts about?

From the producers of Love is Blind and Married at First Sight, Sweethearts follows the lives of six teenage couples in Charleston, South Carolina, as they navigate the end of high school and their final summer together as a couple, before heading off to college.

As senior year comes to an end, all high school sweethearts are forced to look at their relationship and decide… who do you want to be? And who do you want to be with? As the couples experience big milestones like prom, spring break, college decision day, and graduation, we track what brings them together and what pulls them apart.

As their summer comes to a close, each couple must decide whether they will begin the next chapter of their lives together… or begin their adult lives single. Whatever they choose, one thing’s for sure: it will change the course of their lives forever.

Sweethearts Cast Interview

I had the opportunity to catch up with Allison, Will, Carissa, and Brian to discuss their time on Sweethearts. What was it like filming, how was it like adapting to the cameras, and the heavy-hitting question of what they possibly learned about their relationships during their time on the show and rewatching the show? This was such a fun interview, and I loved hearing some of the behind-the-scenes things we didn’t get to see.
