A new Prime Video reality series is allowing contenders to step back into their past to find their soulmate.

PEOPLE also has the First Look at the upcoming show’s debut trailer, which sees the six contenders reconnecting with people they used to know.
The experiment gets off to a great start for some. After two men excitedly embrace, they tell the group: “We met at confirmation.”
But some contestants face some unexpected hurdles. As a man enters through The Portal, a woman standing on the other side of it says: “You’re going to kill me. What’s your name again?”
The process of revisiting a past romance is no easy feat for the cast, especially as more former flames enter through The Portal.
“I’m here to take your girl,” one man says after arriving as another woman says, “The Portal’s been spitting out some duds.”
The Portal, in fact, appears to be full of surprises. At one point, a male contender’s closest female friend walks through.
“You never know what The Portal is going to do,” a female contender later says as another male competitor adds, “It just stirs things up.”
Showrunner and executive producer Elan Gale — who’s worked onThe BachelorandFBoy Island— tells PEOPLEThe One That Got Awayis “unlike any dating show” he’s worked on before.
“Equal parts mind-blowing and heart-warming, this show has everything you love about dating shows and then adds these incredible layers of real-life drama and allows everyone to live out their own ‘what if’ fantasy,” he shares exclusively.
“Each and every person who walks through The Portal has a complex history with the person they’ve come to date, which takes the drama to the next level,” he teases. “This show is about missed connections and second chances, and is truly the first unscripted romantic time-travel experience. I hope viewers empathize with our six incredible leads and take the opportunity to ask themselves if the person they’ve been looking for is someone they’ve known all along.”
All 10 episodes ofThe One That Got Awaywill premiere on June 24 on Prime Video.
