Atlanta’s Own Silver Singles Find Love on Netflix!
Hey Atlantans! Have you heard about the latest buzz on Netflix? Well, grab your popcorn because Later Daters has officially landed in our city, and it’s turning all the heads! With the successful format of shows like Golden Bachelor paving the way, Netflix has jumped into the dating reality scene with its brand-new twist that centers around our beloved older generations!
A New Spin on Dating Shows
Debuting as one of the top 10 shows last year, Later Daters is a delightful experience featuring six fabulous “silver singles” from Atlanta diving back into the world of dating. And let’s be honest, who wouldn’t love to watch some charming locals explore love in a city as vibrant as ours?!
The show is spearheaded by none other than Logan Ury, a Harvard-trained behavior scientist and dating coach. Ury, who knows her way around relationship dynamics (she’s the director of relationship science for the popular dating app Hinge!), uses data and personal anecdotes to help our silver singles navigate their dating journeys. How cool is that?
Meet the Cast!
Throughout the eight-episode series, we’re introduced to the personalities of these singles and their families. Viewers will see them going on dates in scenic spots around Atlanta, including local favorites like Bastone and Old Vinings Inn. Doesn’t it just warm your heart to watch folks enjoying great food and company while searching for love?
Michelle Obama’s Touch
You might be wondering where the show got its flair, and it has a pretty prominent connection! The show is produced by Higher Ground, the media company founded by former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. It’s no wonder it has a touch of class, right?
What’s even more interesting is that Michelle picked Ury to guide our singles throughout their dating escapades! It’s like having a world-class expert right there with them. Ury spent about two hours with each participant to understand their personalities, likes, dislikes, and, of course, what they hope to find in a partner.
Universal Truths About Love
Despite her initial focus on younger daters, Ury found many similarities in the challenges faced by the singles in the show and the struggles of their younger counterparts. She explains, “A lot of the things that people struggle with when they’re younger, like questions of identity and desire, are also true when people are older.” Isn’t that a fascinating revelation? Love really does have its own set of universal rules!
Funny Moments on the Journey
One of the standout moments from the series has gone viral, showcasing the relatable quirks of our locals. A cast member named Greg shared that he had a great date but wouldn’t see the woman again solely because she lives “ITP” (Inside the Perimeter) while he lives “OTP” (Outside the Perimeter). Ury jokingly challenged his logic, asking, “Are you really going to let metro traffic get in the way of finding love?” And Greg’s reply was a classic: “I will.” Talk about a dilemma we can all understand!
The Heart of Atlanta
Ury expresses her pride in cast selection, as the individuals represent the lively spirit of Atlanta. She describes the city as “full of amazing people and eligible singles who are enthusiastic about pairing up.” It’s refreshing to see how this show serves as a love letter to the essence of our vibrant community.
As fans tune in weekly, the stories of love, laughter, and friendships will surely keep us on the edge of our seats. We can’t wait to root for our ‘Later Daters’ and see how they fare in their quest for companionship!
