TLC is shining a spotlight on love, friendship, and authentic connections with its new relationship reality series, Little Singles. Premiering on Wednesday, 1 July 2026 at 21:00 on DStv channel 135, the series follows a vibrant group of little people as they reconnect in Palm Springs for an unforgettable journey filled with romance, laughter, and life-changing moments.
After first meeting at a Little People convention, the close-knit group has maintained strong friendships over the years. Their Palm Springs getaway offers more than just a holiday—it provides a space where everyone can be themselves without the everyday barriers and judgments they often experience in an average-sized world.
A Fresh Take on Dating and Community
Living with dwarfism comes with unique challenges, from accessibility issues to social stigma and navigating relationships. Little Singles creates an environment where the cast members are on equal footing, allowing their personalities and genuine connections to take centre stage.
As friendships deepen, romantic feelings begin to surface, proving that even the strongest bonds can be tested when love enters the picture.
Relationships Put to the Test
At the heart of the series is John (28), whose close friendship with Stephanie (32) and Sammy (26) has earned them the nickname “The Three Amigos.” However, beneath the surface lies a secret relationship between Stephanie and Sammy—one that threatens to change everything.
Stephanie is searching for a meaningful relationship, while Sammy prefers to avoid commitment, creating emotional tension. The situation becomes even more complicated when Sammy develops a connection with Krista (30), the charismatic “princess” of the group, leading to a dramatic love triangle that could reshape the group’s friendships.
Joining them is JJ (37), an energetic performer who returns to Palm Springs determined to embrace new opportunities for love while bringing confidence and humour to every moment.
Real Stories with Heart
According to Alon Orstein, Head of Content at TLC, the series captures genuine relationships that audiences can relate to.
“At TLC, we’re always looking for real stories with real heart, and this circle of friends delivers. Little Singles follows a group with history and incredible chemistry, and the result is a series that feels fresh, fun, and deeply relatable.”
More Than a Dating Show
While romance drives much of the story, Little Singles is ultimately a celebration of friendship, acceptance, and finding a place where everyone belongs. The series highlights how relationships can strengthen lifelong bonds while also challenging them in unexpected ways.
With heartfelt moments, emotional conversations, and plenty of entertaining drama, Little Singles promises to deliver an inspiring and engaging viewing experience.
Don’t miss Little Singles, airing every Wednesday at 21:00 on TLC (DStv channel 135), where friendship, romance, and unforgettable moments come together in a series that proves love has no limits.
