Vanessa Borck will host the second season of the queer dating show “Love Hunter” on Joyn, marking her first time moderating in front of the camera. The 30-year-old influencer, widely known through her digital presence on the “Nessi on Tour” account, shared the announcement with her followers on Instagram, stating, “Ich bin wirklich so aufgeregt und kann es selbst noch gar nicht richtig glauben.”
From Princess Charming Contestant to Love Hunter Host
The role represents a complete turnaround for Borck, who competed for love on the RTL+ queer dating format “Princess Charming” just a year ago. That appearance ended without a winning match, but the experience provided a direct perspective on the emotional vulnerabilities of participating in reality television.
Format Changes and Thailand Production Details
Borck’s arrival brings a structural shift to “Love Hunter,” which operated without a designated host during its inaugural run. In the upcoming season, she will act as an on-site presence for the main searcher and the twelve participating single contestants in Thailand. The core mechanic of the show remains unchanged: while a well-known creator searches for a partner, a portion of the contestant pool is secretly playing for the cash prize while already taken. Borck has remarked that part of her duty will involve spotting deceptive participants, adding an investigative layer to her hosting duties.
Streaming Landscape and Production Timeline
The upcoming season is slated to premiere in the spring of 2027, following a first run that saw influencer Twenty4Tim select Edin Volarov as his partner. Joyn and streaming platforms currently position “Love Hunter” as the sole explicitly queer dating format active in German-language streaming, particularly following the suspension of the “Prince Charming” and “Princess Charming” franchises on RTL+. Borck intends to begin documenting her transition and behind-the-scenes preparation on her channels ahead of the official broadcast window.
