Christie Brinkley, Vivica A. Fox Join 'The Later Daters' Season 2
Netflix's The Later Daters goes celebrity for Season 2 with Christie Brinkley, Vivica A. Fox, Margaret Cho, Caroline Rhea and Pebe Sebert. Premieres Dec. 30.
Netflix's dating series about finding love later in life is back, and this time the singles are famous.
Season 2 of The Later Daters follows five women: supermodel Christie Brinkley, actress Vivica A. Fox, comedians Margaret Cho and Caroline Rhea, and singer-songwriter Pebe Sebert, who is also the mother of pop star Kesha. The season premieres on Netflix on Wednesday, Dec. 30. Netflix announced the cast on Tuesday, Nov. 10.
Netflix's synopsis says the women are opening their hearts to "a whole new dating world," and that they "prove that finding a real connection has no expiration date."
