Parental Control was an MTV dating reality show where parents, unhappy with their child’s current partner, selected two new potential suitors for them to date—while the current partner watched alongside the parents.

We cast people willing to put their relationships to the test. Contestants had to be open to exploring new connections, while their current partners had to sit through the experience, witnessing every moment. This casting called for strong personalities, bold opinions, and plenty of drama, making for the ultimate dating showdown.
