Austin, Texas, has a batch of eight singles that are ready to mingle!
In an E! exclusive trailer, the Twentysomethings: Austin cast experiences the highs and lows of finding love in the "new normal" of the pandemic, from the first kiss to the first d––k pic. The group shares a house in Austin as they try to get their social life back. (Think wholesome Real World!)
"I'm about to be put in a house with seven other people that I've never met before," says 23-year-old Kamari in the clip.
Isa, a fashion designer from Irvine, Calif., adds, "My 20s were definitely put on hold this past year, so I'm moving to Austin and making up for lost time."
We get to know the group as everyone moves and settles into the new home: Natalie tells the cast that she has "very strict parents and has "never had a boyfriend," Keauno says "he's never even kissed a guy," and Abbey shares that she is "recently divorced."
"The sexual tension is palpable," Natalie says in the clip, which is filled with make-out scenes, pool parties, and, in classic Austin style, some bull-riding.
And from the looks of this clip, things are heating up and fast.
"It was my first d--k pic," Natalie tells Bruce, a 23-year-old from Greenville, S.C.
"Really? You should frame it," Bruce responds.
The reality series, produced by Eureka Productions and executive produced by Chris Culvenor and Paul Franklin, will be released in two parts with six episodes released in Part 1 on Dec. 10 and six episodes in Part 2 available Dec. 17.
As the group "cheers to new beginnings," scroll through to meet the cast ahead of the Dec. 10 premiere of Twentysomethings: Austin on Netflix.

She now dreams of launching her fashion line, Hut Mentality, and getting her artisanal pieces picked up by a retail boutique in Austin.
