TLC Orders ‘Kate Plus Date’

TLC has greenlit a six-part docuseries called “Kate Plus Dlate,” which will feature the mother of eight, Kate Gosselin, in search of romance. The logline: Over the years on TLC, viewers have seen Kate as a mom of eight. Whether wading neck-deep in diapers and sippy cups, scrambling to get the kids off to school or stressing over every last detail of birthday parties, her world has always revolved around being a mom—but moms deserve the chance to find love too! Devoting herself full-time to her eight children has left Kate’s dating skills a bit rusty, so she enlists the help of expert matchmakers Rachel DeAlto and Adam LoDolce to guide her through this very new – and often awkward – process. They’ll help Kate find her perfect match, setting her up on dates with 10 bachelors over the course of the series.

The dates are composed of two activities: one that’s fun and interactive, and another that’s more intimate where the pair can really see if there’s a spark. Kate’s college-bound twins Mady and Cara are equally invested in finding their mom a partner, providing encouragement and colorful commentary along the way. 

“Kate Plus Date” premieres on Monday, June 10 at 10 p.m. ET.
