Can your best friend help you find true love? Casting for Mediacorp’s reality dating show Wingman now open across Southeast Asia
Singapore, 8 December 2025 – Calling all singles! Ready to find love – with a little help from your best friend? Casting is now open for Wingman, Mediacorp’s brand-new reality dating show that invites singles to team up with their best friend as they navigate the highs, lows and unexpected twists of modern romance.
Adding a new spin to the dating genre, the series follows duos of participants as they embark on a group dating experience in which finding love is a team effort. As one searches for romance among other participants, their best friend will act as their wingman offering perspective and support from their front-row seat to every date, decision and detour. Because who better to help you find love than the one who knows you best?
Angeline Poh, Chief Customer and Corporate Development Officer, Mediacorp said: “Wingman is a standout addition to our growing slate of original unscripted entertainment. The inclusion of best friends in the search for love reflects a slice of reality and offers a refreshing twist to the typical singles-centric show format that we’re familiar with. We are delighted to partner with Beach House Pictures to bring this innovative concept to life, and can’t wait to meet the besties ready to show us the power of a great wingman.”
Casting is now open to pairs of single friends aged 21 to 35 (as of 31 January 2026) from across Southeast Asia. Applicants must be legally single, fluent in English, and available to film in Singapore for up to three weeks in 2026. Selected participants will enjoy accommodation and meals – along with the chance to win attractive prizes.
Interested pairs can apply via www.mediacorp.sg/wingman with their names, ages, recent photos and a short one-minute video introducing themselves. In the video, applicants are encouraged to share what makes their friendship unique, why they are both still single, and why their best friend would make the ultimate wingman. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis and close on 31 January 2026.
Produced by Beach House Pictures, Wingman emerged as the winning concept at the Unscripted Formats Pitch of Creatives Assembly 2023, which saw an open call for ideas for the next big reality format. Its journey from concept to production reflects Mediacorp’s commitment to harnessing the creative ecosystem to bring bold, homegrown stories to life – and to shaping the future of local entertainment.
Wingman will premiere in the first half of 2026.
