Meet the 6 New Singles on Netflix’s New Series: Dating Around
After she spent 11 years as a producer on ABC’s hit show, The Bachelor, Alycia Rossiter was over the fantasy. She didn’t want to move forward with any more dating shows. In fact, she had moved on to working on a new show that reunites casts of high school musicals years later as adults. Definitely far from rose ceremonies and group dates.
Insert a new proposal for a dating show with a very tempting and simple plot: six single individuals going out on five blind first dates. Rossiter saw The Bachelor for what it really is, a fantasy. Netflix’s new series, Dating Around, is the exact opposite. For this very reason, Rossiter accepted and believes it’s a good reason viewers will be attracted to the show.
Released on Valentine’s Day, because #love, Dating Around devotes an entire episode to following one of the singles on five first dates. At the conclusion of each episode, the single at the center then chooses who they would like to pursue for a second night out. This cast is refreshingly the most diverse we have seen from any dating show yet. It features those from the LGBTQ community, elders, and many from different ethnicities.
