Alex Cooper, the force behind the Call Her Daddy podcast, is launching a new unscripted dating show on Hulu called Overboard for Love (working title). The show places a group of “sexy singles” on a luxury yacht, promising romance, alliances, and heartbreak.
Here’s the Lowdown: The series, produced by Cooper’s Unwell Productions, Jeff Jenkins Productions (known for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives), 3BMG, and Walt Disney Television Alternative, features singles looking for love on a yacht. However, access to the yacht’s luxurious features isn’t guaranteed, adding a competitive element to the romantic pursuits.
What This Means Now: This marks Unwell Productions’ first foray into unscripted television and Hulu’s first collaboration with the company. It signals Cooper’s expanding influence beyond podcasting, as she ventures into a new medium with a show designed to be “bold” and “unfiltered”.
The Bigger Picture: Overboard for Love joins Hulu’s growing roster of original unscripted series, including hits like The Kardashians and Vanderpump Villa. The show’s premise of combining romance with a competitive twist fits within the popular reality dating show genre, while Cooper’s involvement suggests a potentially edgier, more modern approach. The show is currently a ‘working title’ and no premiere date has been announced,
