Emily Wong The Real Love Boat premiered on CBS, airing Wednesday nights beginning October 5, 2022. However, the dating reality show came to an abrupt halt on November 2 when its usual episode slot didn’t air.

What happened to The Real Love Boat?
The Real Love Boat changed networks from CBS to Paramount+ halfway through season 1. Remaining episodes of the dating reality show will drop every Wednesday on the network, starting with episode 5.
It premiered on October 5 to 2.4 million total viewers and a 0.3 demo rating, including live and same day numbers), which was among the lowest numbers for any non-CW series launch this fall, TV Line reports.
With Live+7 playback factored in, the new dating show added 20 percent to its total audience but didn’t improve its demo number by much. Despite this though, fans appear to love the fun-filled series on social media.
A CBS representative for The Real Love Boat has been contacted by GRV Media.
The show was cancelled on CBS
