Michelle Obama’s latest executive-producing venture, The Later Daters, attempts to prove that love knows no bounds, certainly not that of something as trivial as age. The Later Daters, a heartwarming new docuseries, follows six vibrant singles in their 50s, 60s, and 70s as they navigate the modern dating landscape in search of their next great love story.
Under the guidance of Harvard-trained behavioral scientist and dating coach Logan Ury, these Atlanta-area residents brave the world of blind dates on The Later Daters while their children, friends, and sometimes even their exes cheer them on from the sidelines.
The eight-episode series, dropping on November 29, promises to be more than just another dating show – it's a testament to the fact that it's never too late to find love, even if you need a little help remembering how to swipe right.
Meet the silver singles of The Later Daters
Anise (62)
From high school sweetheart to accomplished scholar, Anise's journey is nothing short of inspiring. After losing her husband in a tragic accident while their children were young, she channeled her grief into personal growth, pursuing not just a college degree (as her late husband had encouraged) but going all the way to earn a doctorate – all while being a single mom.
Now in marketing, Anise faces a new challenge on The Later Daters: learning not to downplay her impressive achievements in the dating world. After all, who doesn't love a doctor?
Suzanne (63)
With her vibrant energy, show-stopping hair, and signature bright lipstick, Suzanne is impossible to miss. After losing Chris, her husband of 27 years and father to their three children, she found solace in her optometry practice.
Ready to focus on love again, this self-proclaimed optimist has her sights set on finding her own Matthew McConaughey. Alright, alright, alright!
Nate (56)
A former paratrooper with a fascinating relationship history, Nate's life reads like a romance novel – just not the kind with a happy ending (yet). His past includes co-parenting with his college ex-turned-best friend, a broken engagement due to infidelity, and a 16-year marriage that eventually ended in divorce.
Living in what dating coach Ury describes as a suspiciously "buttoned up" man cave, Nate's mission is to let his guard down and tackle those trust issues head-on.
Pam (70)
If life were a movie, Pam would be its star. This former flight attendant's love life reads like a romantic drama – first married to Steve, a rock musician who swept her off her feet, then spending 21 years with Will before losing both to death.
Now single for 15 years, Pam shares her countryside home with her granddaughter Zoe, various animals, and enough memorabilia to fill a museum. Ury's challenge? Getting Pam to focus less on her storied past and more on her promising future.
Lori (57)
By day, Lori helps shape young minds as a student engagement and behavior coach. By night, she transforms into a celebrity correspondent, rubbing shoulders with the stars on red carpets.
This divorced mother of two has masterfully avoided the dating scene for 15 years by keeping herself busy with her double life. Now, she's ready to step into the spotlight of her own love story – if she can avoid getting stuck in the dreaded friend zone.
Greg (61)
Twice divorced and single for 12 years, this construction business owner has been around the relationship block. Greg's previous attempt at modern dating left him with a case of app fatigue, thanks to countless ghosting incidents and conversations that fizzled into the digital void.
While he maintains that physical attraction is key, dating coach Ury suggests he might need to "expand his parameters" on The Later Daters– proving that even at 61, there's always room for personal growth.
With Logan Ury's expert guidance and their families' support, these six singles are about to discover that finding love in their later years might just be the adventure of a lifetime. Will they find their perfect match? Only time – and eight binge-worthy episodes – will tell.
