Netflix’s “The Later Daters” is flipping the script on dating in your golden years! Forget the wrinkles—these sassy seniors are proving that love has no expiration date. And guess who is the Executive Producer, none other than Michelle Obama! This show is set to take over the world and people will for sure binge over Thanksgiving weekend. The series premieres on November 29.
“Later Daters” Premise
In this hilarious new series, six boomers—ranging from 56 to 71—jump into modern dating, from swiping right to decoding emojis. With help from a Harvard-trained dating guru and their adult kids playing matchmaker, these later daters are navigating romance with a mix of sass, heart, and a lot of laughs.
First, meet Suzanne, a firecracker on the hunt for a “hot Italian.” Then there’s Pam, who’s been through two dramatic marriages and is ready to try again. Anise is a tough cookie learning to open up, while Dwight, a charming silver fox, is diving into dating with a few bumps along the way. Rounding out the crew are two others, all navigating life’s second chances.
These boomers are trading their old-school methods for modern dating apps—and the results are classic. Picture Suzanne trying to figure out how to swipe right without calling her grandkids—awkward, but adorable.
Logan Ury, a relationship expert with a scientific twist, helps them understand everything from body language to how to deal with dating app lingo. She even teaches them that “Netflix and chill” isn’t about documentaries—cue Dwight’s priceless reaction.
Things get extra interesting when the later daters’ adult kids get involved, offering advice (and awkwardly helping with dating profiles). Whether it’s explaining emojis or giving a wardrobe makeover, these kids are determined to see their parents happy.
Watch these daters tackle everything from the nerve-wracking first date to figuring out how to take a decent selfie for their profiles in the trailer. Let’s just say, there are some hilarious moments.
The show digs deep into emotional baggage—Pam’s lost loves, Anise’s tough exterior, and the fears these boomers face when opening their hearts again. But as they learn from Logan’s coaching and their own journeys, they realize it’s never too late to grow, change, and embrace vulnerability.
From coffee shop meet-cutes to awkward first date disasters, The Later Daters is a reminder that love is messy, beautiful, and full of surprises—no matter your age. And with the help of Logan’s wisdom, these boomers learn to embrace the journey with open hearts.
In the end, some find love, some find themselves, and all prove that age is just a number. The Later Daters is a heartwarming celebration of love, second chances, and the hilarious reality of dating later in life. You won’t want to miss it! “The Later Daters” releases on November 29.
