Colt Johnson Returns in ‘90 Day: The Hunt for Love’ — Drama, Heartbreak, and the Wildest Ride Yet
Colt Johnson is no stranger to heartbreak, headlines, or heated family feuds, and now he’s back on our screens in TLC’s newest spin-off 90 Day: The Hunt for Love. But this time, he’s not just looking for love—he’s hunting it down with all the scars, lessons, and charm he’s accumulated over the years. In an exclusive interview, Colt opens up about everything from exes and emotional growth to the surprising reconciliation with his infamous mom, Debbie. And if his words are anything to go by, this season promises to be one of the most explosive in 90 Day history.
When asked what he’s searching for in a partner now, Colt doesn’t skip a beat. “Personality really matters a lot to me. The connection—I really want to make a strong connection this time,” he says with a sincerity that might surprise longtime fans who remember the chaos of his previous relationships. Those who’ve followed his journey know well the dramatic ups and downs he’s weathered with Larissa and Vanessa—two romances that played out more like soap operas than love stories. “Breakups suck,” he reflects candidly. “They definitely bring out the best and worst in somebody… You don’t really know yourself until you go through one.” Colt may have made mistakes in the past, but now, he claims to be wiser and more self-aware—traits he hopes will lead him to someone who truly gets him.
The dating pool in The Hunt for Love is filled with familiar faces, and Colt admits he’s already taken notice. “There are so many beautiful ladies… I think Stacy is pretty—yeah, she catches my eye.” That simple comment is likely to ignite fan speculation, particularly among those who thrive on following every flirtatious glance and cryptic Instagram post. But even as he looks forward to new possibilities, his past is never far behind. “None of my exes have reached out,” he laughs. “I think they all kind of block me now. I’m probably on some kind of ‘blocked’ list.” Always self-deprecating, Colt jokes that there’s likely a Facebook group somewhere called “Are We Blocking the Same Guy?”—a clever twist on the viral groups where women cross-check their dating histories to avoid bad apples.
Of course, no 90 Day spinoff would be complete without over-the-top drama, and this season, Colt teases more than just emotional breakdowns. “There’s so much drama this season. So juicy. And there are many, many love shapes—circles and squares. All kinds of stuff.” Love shapes? Yes, you read that right. If love triangles are old news, Colt is promising an entire geometry class of romantic entanglements. Though he stops short of giving too much away, it’s clear the show is aiming for maximum chaos—and viewers won’t be able to look away.
One of the most intriguing arcs this season involves Colt’s famously complex relationship with his mother, Debbie. Longtime viewers have witnessed their tight, and at times suffocating, bond—one that led to memorable clashes and viral memes. But after a period of distance, Colt says they’ve reconnected. “My mother and I have a really good relationship now. It’s been two years, but we’re finally on good terms.” That healing process, he reveals, wasn’t easy. Yet Debbie remains a constant in his life—one who was understandably skeptical when he signed on for The Hunt for Love. “She thinks it’s crazy,” he says. And while he shared a few details with her, Colt admits he kept “the best stuff” under wraps to avoid spoilers. As someone who’s practically been a co-star in his love life, Debbie is eagerly waiting to see how the story unfolds—just like the rest of us.
Adding to the suspense is a mysterious ambulance scene featured in the trailer, hinting at a possibly serious incident on set. While Colt plays coy about what really happened, he promises that fans won’t be disappointed. “That looks like a pretty cool scene. You’ll just have to wait and see. But let me tell you, it’s fantastic. It’s amazing—like the whole arc of the show. I’ve never quite seen it done on television before.” That kind of hype from someone who’s seen it all suggests that Hunt for Love is not your average 90 Day season—it’s bigger, messier, and more ambitious than anything Colt has been part of before.
Underneath all the comedy and chaos, there’s something sincere in Colt’s voice when he talks about learning from the past and wanting something real. “It’s just been one trial after another,” he says. “But I’m learning. Always learning.” That journey—from fan-favorite to villain to self-aware romantic—is what makes Colt Johnson such a compelling figure in the 90 Day universe. He may stumble, he may overshare, and he may absolutely drive viewers crazy, but he never stops trying to love—and that’s what keeps us watching.
So what can fans expect from The Hunt for Love? Everything. Emotional confessions. Explosive confrontations. Romantic entanglements that defy logic and NDAs that hide more than just spoilers. Whether Colt finds “the one” or ends up on another heartbreak playlist, one thing is certain: you won’t want to miss a minute.
