Higher Ground, the production company founded by Barack and Michelle Obama, is venturing into new territory with an upcoming unscripted series. Titled “The Later Daters,” this show aims to shed light on the often-overlooked world of romance and companionship among older adults.

The series, which is currently launching November 29, 2024 on Netflix, is a collaborative effort between Higher Ground and Boardwalk Pictures, known for their work on popular unscripted content. “The Later Daters” promises to offer a heartwarming and insightful look into the lives of seniors as they navigate the complexities of finding love and companionship later in life.

Adding credibility and expertise to the show is Logan Ury, a Harvard-trained behavioral scientist specializing in dating and relationships. Ury, who will serve as an on-air expert, brings a wealth of knowledge to help guide both the participants and viewers through the nuances of dating in later years. Her involvement suggests the series will blend entertainment with scientific insights into human behavior and relationships.

This production represents a unique addition to Higher Ground’s portfolio, potentially addressing an underserved demographic in reality television while tackling themes of loneliness, connection, and the pursuit of happiness at any age.
