E! SWIPES RIGHT ON NEW UNSCRIPTED COMEDY SERIES "DATING #NOFILTER" PREMIERING MONDAY, JANUARY 21ST AT 10:30P ET/PT

Half-Hour Episodes to Air Monday Through Thursday Nights at 10:30pm ET/PT for Five Weeks

Los Angeles, CA - Wednesday, December 12, 2018 - E! expands its original nightly programming line-up with a 20-episode order of the new unscripted comedy blind dating series, "Dating #NoFilter," to air Monday through Thursday starting Monday, January 21st at 10:30p ET/PT. From Lime Pictures and All3Media America, "Dating #NoFilter" is a fresh and hilariously honest take on the modern dating scene for the socially savvy, right-swiping generation. In each buzzy half-hour episode, three pairs of outspoken comedians will serve up play-by-plays as they follow real singles on the most outrageous, intimate, and surprising first dates. Throughout the blind dates, the comedians will offer their candid and unique POVs as they weigh in on every accidental love story pulling at viewers' heart strings and the "OMG-no!" cringe-worthy moments, with real, unfiltered and clever commentary.

"Dating in a hashtag world can provide humorous, sometimes outrageous situations, and our comics are ready to bring it," said Amy Introcaso-Davis, EVP Development and Production, E!. "Armed with wine, popcorn, and astute observations, they will offer hilarious commentary as our daters navigate the thrills and awkward drama in their quest for love."
