A welcoming and safe new space for young romantics looking for love.
In this surprising, funny and heartfelt new series, the First Dates team aims its cupid's arrow at a diverse range of teenagers aged 16-19. They are all diving into the world of dating and love for the first time, excited to experience the thrill of a real-life blind date. The dates will take place in a new restaurant, but familiar faces Fred, Merlin, Cici and Grant will be on hand to guide the teens, helping to build their confidence and create a memorable experience.
While far from ready to settle down with their soulmate just yet, these young romantics will get a chance to put their phones in their pockets, escape from the pressures of social media and talk face-to-face with a potential match. They'll be able to put their fledgeling flirting skills to the test too but, most importantly, the young daters will explore who they are, who they want to be, and what it takes to make the perfect connection with another person.
