Do nice guys finish last? That’s the question HBO Max’s new dating show is trying to answer.
On Thursday, the streaming service announced thatNikki Glaserwill be hostingFBoy Island, a 10-episode reality series in which three women will navigate a dating pool of two dozen men — 12 self-proclaimed “Nice Guys” and 12 who consider themselves “FBoys.”
During their time on a tropical island, the women try to find a love connection while the men will compete against each other for cash, according to a news release.
“By the finale, all will be revealed — who is a Nice Guy, who is an FBoy, and who do the women ultimately choose,” the show’s logline reads.

Sam Dean, whose credits includeLove Is Blindand HBO Max’s holiday-themed dating show12 Dates of Christmas, will act as the showrunner forFBoy Island.
“When I first got the call to be a part of a reality dating show calledFBoy Island, I said yes immediately. Then I realized they weren’t asking me to be one of the girls looking for love. That is not a joke; it was embarrassing,” Glaser said in a statement.
Per the show’s logline, the series will be a “social experiment that asks the age-old question: Can FBoys truly reform or do Nice Guys always finish last?”
