How to watch Back in the Groove: stream the dating show online

The world isn't short of reality dating shows right now but Back in the Groove has an edge. The all-new Hulu show is set to offer something of a unique twist on the well-worn genre. Inspired by the 1988 age-gap vacation romance movie How Stella Got Her Groove Back, the show is set to give three women in their 40s the chance to get their love lives back on track by dating men half their age. Here's how to watch Back in the Groove on Hulu, not matter where you are in the world.

On hosting duties is actor Taye Diggs, who made his Hollywood debut as the love interest in the aforementioned comedy classic. The eight-episode series sees singletons Steph, 41; Brooke, 42; and Sparkle, 43, given the opportunity to choose the partner of their choice, from the two dozen twenty-something men who are waiting to woo them.

Using the tried and trusted Love Island method of keeping the temperatures up, the show takes place on a sultry vacation resort in the Dominican Republic with all guests staying at the chic Groove Hotel. Back in the Groove premieres Monday, December 5, with two new episodes dropping nightly until December 8.
