Fans can see what the cast has been up to in a juicy reunion airing Thursday, March 13 on YouTube

KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- After its spicy debut last year, Responsibility Island – the wildly popular scripted reality TV series from H&R Block (NYSE: HRB) – returns today on YouTube with a  that is action-packed with drama, laughs, and unexpected twists. H&R Block, the company that pioneered the tax preparation category 70 years ago, is bringing back the successful comedic satire this tax season to check in with the fan-favorite contestants one year after their departure from the island – along with some surprising and unfamiliar faces.

“Tax season can be a challenging time for young adults and especially for first time filers, which is why we’re bringing back Responsibility Island – to make the experience more relatable, approachable, and even fun,” said Jill Cress, Chief Marketing and Experience Officer, H&R Block. “By leaning into entertainment, and beloved reality TV, we’re letting humor and storytelling turn a traditionally un-cool topic into something that resonates with younger tax filers.”

Last tax season, Responsibility Island followed a group of young adults who thought they were signing up for the latest dating show craze. Little did they know, their quest for love would transform into a responsibility boot camp. Contestants faced a gauntlet of challenges in adulting designed to teach self-reliance and productivity. And the ultimate test? To get off the island, each contestant had to face the mother of all responsibility – filing their own taxes.

The fun continues at this year’s reunion as the beloved stars catch up and discuss how far they have – or have not – come a year after leaving the island. To their relief, familiar faces Narci, TayTay, Blaze and Zane are all reunited on stage, this time by a human host and not the famous Iron from season one. On stage, the cast explores burning questions fans had at the end of the series: Will Narci’s entrepreneurial dreams overcome the challenges of being a She-E-O? How is Zane holding up after his stint behind bars? And what jaw-dropping ultimatum will TayTay face when a surprise guest makes an appearance? Fans will have to tune in to the reunion to find out.

Starting today, the reunion episode is airing on  and the H&R Block .

Responsibility is Hot

To promote the series’ return, H&R Block has teamed up with dating app leader, Tinder, to show singles that navigating dating – and taxes – does not have to be so hard. In the reunion episode, TayTay, an avid Tinder user, celebrates his fandom for the app, noting the endless possibilities it provides outside of dating.

“As the most downloaded app among 18-year-olds, we saw Tinder as our perfect match for this year’s Responsibility Island show,” said Cress. “And with 87% of our Gen Z customer base filing single, we could not resist the opportunity to connect the taxes and dating dots, while rewarding single filers along the way.”

Earlier this month, H&R Block and Tinder paired up to give 10 lucky singles a financial boost this tax season. Through a special sweepstakes that launched on Feb. 15, National Singles Awareness Day, and runs through March 15, the companies are offering singles a chance to win extra cash – recognizing that navigating money matters alone can be tough, and a little support goes a long way. Tinder users 18 and older can enter for a chance to win $1,777, the average single filer refund, accessible in the Tinder app or Tinder’s TikTok bio.
