MTV Studios and Quibi announced today that multifaceted entertainer Keke Palmer will host “Singled Out” alongside co-host Joel Kim Booster. MTV’s wildly popular dating show reimagined for the short-form mobile video platform is set to launch in Spring 2020.
Hailed as a pop culture classic, “Singled Out” will hook up a new generation of singles, of all genders and sexual preferences, seeking love in 20 bite-sized episodes. Reflective of today’s dating landscape, where everyone is connected, the series will bring online dating to life with a twist — the main dater is linked to the pool of diverse singles through social media.
“I am thrilled to be hosting ‘Singled Out‘” said Keke Palmer. “To be able to reimagine this show for my generation and on a new platform is so exciting. Can’t wait for you guys to see what we have in store!”
