AARP Studios Debuts Original Digital Series Date My Grandma This Valentine’s Day

AARP Studios’ latest original YouTube series Date My Grandma is all about making new connections, perhaps even a love connection. In each episode, viewers meet a single grandma whose grandkids help vet suitors and set up a blind date.

The six-episode series celebrates love, family and companionship. Grandkids, age 10 to 25, press would-be suitors on everything from “What are your favorite hobbies?” to “Do you exercise?” to “Have you saved for retirement?” Once the grandkids make their choice, what happens next is in grandma’s hands.

“Like all of our AARP Studios programs, we want to celebrate the lives of the 50-plus. In Date My Grandma we get to tell family stories, romantic stories, funny stories, real stories all in one series that also involves multiple generations. It’s about time a reality series connected these generational dots and simply shared the love,” said AARP Studios Vice President Jeffrey Eagle.

Date My Grandma portrays how meeting new people and staying connected are fundamental to one’s physical and mental well being.

In a recent AARP study, 56 percent of single grandparents are either dating or open to it. But dating isn’t necessarily about marriage. Only 12 percent are searching for a spouse, while a quarter are looking for a partner, and 36 percent are simply looking for companionship.
