Dated & related cast

There are two sets of siblings from the UK who feature in the series - Kaz and Kieran Bishop from Essex and Alara and Ceylan Taneri from London. First up, the Bishops are 30-year-old twin brothers - Kaz is  firefighter while Kieran works as a banking consultant.They share everything, including friendships, an apartment and a tendency to get bored in relationships. However, their approaches to dating are completely different. Heartthrob firefighter and self-confessed player, Kaz, can’t stop playing the field and juggling multiple women at once. While smooth talking socialite, Kieran, wears his heart on his sleeve, having spent over 10 years of his life in a relationship with his childhood sweetheart. He’s obsessively picky when it comes to choosing a partner. And neither of them will settle for anything less than perfection.

Meanwhile, fans will have to wait until episode three to meet the Taneris. This best friend sibling duo Ceylan and Alara are closer than ever. They’ve lived all over the world but the one thing that stuck was their bond. Alara, a whirlwind of energy and emotion, was a late bloomer in the world of dating and sex. She has guys falling for her charm, and although she’s had her fair share of dating disasters, she’s still holding out hope for that very special someone. Ceylan has an abundance of female attention, however, he’s anything but a player. Having recently recovered from a massive heartbreak, he’s looking for a humble girl he can shower with love (and he has a lot of love to give!) and take home to his family.
