That will be followed on Dec. 8 by “Dateable,” which asks what happens when your online dating profile meets real life? Every episode will follow an eligible single person who goes to a busy NYC park wearing a sign that reads “AM I DATEABLE?” The host of this man-on-the-street series will then ask strangers to review the single person’s dating profile right in front of them. Based on those strangers’ responses, the host will then deliver the final verdict about whether that single people is dateable or not
“People Watching” will be available on Jubilee’s Instagram, TikTok and on YouTube Shorts. As for “Dateable,” it will be available across Nectar’s Instagram, TikTok and on YouTube Shorts. Both “People Watching” and “Dateable” are Jubilee’s first productions filmed in New York City.
