“The Later Daters” is back with Season 2, and this time it’s celebrities seeking love later in life.
The Netflix reality series, executive produced by Michelle Obama, has been renewed for another season, which premieres on Dec. 30 on the streamer. The show will follow five celebs — Christie Brinkley, Margaret Cho, Vivica A. Fox, Caroline Rhea and Pebe Sebert (with daughter Kesha by her side) — as they open their hearts to a whole new dating world, guided by Harvard-trained behavioral scientist and relationship coach Logan Ury.
“Whether navigating the highs and heartbreaks of modern romance for the first time in years or getting a second chance at love, these women prove that finding a real connection has no expiration date,” per the logline.
The first season of “The Later Daters” premiered on Netflix in November 2024 and followed six older singles as they embarked on blind dates with potential romantic partners. Each person would check in with Ury, who helped them navigate the unfamiliar world of modern dating, as well as their adult children and close friends, who provided sage advice.
“The Later Daters” hails from the Obamas’ production company Higher Ground and Boardwalk Pictures. Alongside Michelle Obama, the executive producers are Ethan Lewis, Andrew Fried, Jonathan Hausfater, Dane Lillegard, Sarina Roma, Ailee O’Neill, J.C. Begley and Cian O’Clery.
The unscripted series is one of many projects from Higher Ground to come out this year. This past summer, the company produced Larry David’s HBO sketch comedy series “Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness,” which even starred Barack Obama in a cameo.
