According to The Sun, the untitled show is still in development rather than a formally confirmed commission, with details drawn from a casting notice rather than an official announcement.
The BBC declined to comment when approached by Radio Times.
I Kissed a Boy, which was the UK's first dating show solely for the LGBTQ+ community, debuted in 2023, with the spin-off series I Kissed a Girl following in 2024. Both were hosted by Dannii Minogue and made by production company Twofour.
The BBC said of the decision: "We are exceptionally proud of I Kissed a Boy/Girl, the UK’s first dating show for the LGBTQ+ community.
"Unfortunately, we have to make difficult choices in light of our funding challenges and there are no current plans for the show to return."

In a statement confirming the move, the BBC said: "As the BBC continues to navigate significant financial pressures and deliver the savings required of us, we have had to make some very difficult choices, none of which have been taken lightly.
Season 8 is set to conclude its run on BBC Three and iPlayer, with existing episodes remaining available after the move. The first RuPaul's Drag Race UK All Stars is lined up to premiere in autumn 2027 exclusively on WOW Presents Plus, including for UK viewers.
Former Drag Race UK vs The World winner Tia Kofi told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that the BBC appeared to be dropping shows it viewed as "more niche", even though those audiences were "very much staying on and watching", warning that marginalised viewers now had "limited representation in mainstream media".
Drag Race co-creator Fenton Bailey, reflecting on the move, told BBC News that he did not believe there was a "hidden agenda" at the BBC, but warned of a "crisis of representation" on television and said queer culture remained vulnerable.
