Comedians in control in Sky's Dating No Filter
- Hit US format Dating No Filter is getting a UK remake with Sky One
- The format sees comedians setting people up on dates and then commenting on the action
- The eight-part series starts on TV in early 2021
Sky One is making a UK version of hit US format Dating No Filter. The programme sees comedians setting up people on dates and then commenting on the results.
The eight-part series is based on a hit show broadcast on the E! network in America.
Sky explains: "Dating No Filter is a fresh and hilariously honest take on modern dating. The UK version will see a group of singletons sent on blind dates, set up by quick-witted comedians. The comics will be given some control over a diverse range of matches and will then watch and weigh in on the dates, giving hysterically unfiltered commentary on every awkward interaction and heart-warming moment. But what they are really rooting for is for love to conquer all!
"As well as featuring the inevitable and unforgettable dating disasters, there will hopefully be couples who really do make a love connection thanks to their funny matchmakers."
Phil Edgar-Jones from Sky says: "The dating world has been thrown into chaos with the pandemic. How can folks get together when they have to be apart? Luckily we have the answer - with the help of some brilliant comedians watching dates unfold and dishing up some advice to our dating couples - Dating No Filter is the perfect way to re-introduce Britain to love."
David Granger from production company Monkey adds: "Dating No Filter is a dating format that gives us the delightful opportunity to matchmake the best of British comedy talent with the best of British single people. We all look forward to the joy, fun and love that should come from such a great combination."
Dating No Filter will be on Sky One and Now TV in early 2021.
The comedians involved will be revealed nearer the time.
