LIVING Re-Commissions Dating in the Dark

LONDON: Dating in the Dark has received a second-season order from LIVING in the U.K., and has already been slated for another run in the U.S. on ABC.

Nick Samwell-Smith, the creative director of Initial, an Endemol company, commented: “We’re delighted to be making another series of Dating in the Dark for Living. This time round we’ll be upping the ante in every way, and delivering a whole new range of funny, touching and surprising treats to the audience.”
