Australia’s hearts will be opened to a whole new world of grown-up love when My Mum Your Dad premieres in November.
Kate Langbroek presents this heartfelt dating series about single parents looking for love the second time around. What they don’t know is their adult children are secretly guiding them through the perils of modern dating.
Kate Langbroek said: “I’m properly excited for Australia to see this amazing new series, and see how brave and vulnerable these single parents are. To dare to dream and open their hearts to love again – and in the public arena – is incredibly courageous. There’s nobody that cares about your relationship more than your kids, because they enter the relationship too. In fact, they are the ones that often end up carrying the emotional baggage. So it’s pretty special that these kids are (secretly) helping their parents on their quest to find a connection. My Mum Your Dad is an extraordinary show, with humanity and vulnerability, humour and family love. It’s going to be an amazing new series to watch.”
The kids will go through different challenges for the power to determine who their parents go on a date with, and what they do on the date. These challenges involve hearing cringeworthy confessions about their parents, enduring spicy food and even an ice bath.
The childrens’ approval, or disapproval, is the ultimate test, and all emotions and thoughts will be revealed at the Blessing Ceremony in the finale.
Get ready to have your heartstrings pulled as these single parents find themselves in a raw and vulnerable position that their kids have never seen before.
