Higher Ground, the production company founded by Barack and Michelle Obama, ventured into new territory with the unscripted series “The Later Daters,” shedding light on the often-overlooked world of romance and companionship among older adults.

The series launched November 29, 2024 on Netflix, a collaborative effort between Higher Ground and Boardwalk Pictures, known for their work on popular unscripted content. It offers 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 is on-air expert Logan Ury, a Harvard-trained behavioral scientist specializing in dating and relationships, who helps guide both the participants and viewers through the nuances of dating in later years.

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