Trisha Paytas will host Don’t Date Alone With Trisha Paytas, a queer dating series coming to Tubi on Feb. 4, 2027. The half-hour show will pair a contestant’s best friend with Paytas as they help choose among three possible matches.

The format puts friendship at the center of each episode. A contestant’s bestie sets up their queer friend, then joins Paytas in putting the candidates through compatibility challenges before one is selected for a blind date. The Hollywood Reporter’s report describes the challenges as outrageous, though it does not detail specific games.

Trisha Paytas Connects Friendship With Queer Dating

Paytas told The Hollywood Reporter that friendship matters deeply to her. She said a good friend wants the best for someone and can sometimes spot red flags in a relationship more easily than the person dating can.

“If your friend approves of the one you’re dating, it’s a major green flag,” Paytas said. She described the series as a fun take on a classic dating show and said she wanted queer love to receive representation on a bigger platform.

Paytas also said she wanted participants to feel safe and looked after. She said the show should be fun and creative, and that she enlisted professionals to help achieve that. She recalled liking fast-paced dating shows in high school and said she hoped this one would be something viewers could watch and smile.

Those comments frame the role of the best friend as more than a setup. The friend takes part in evaluating potential matches alongside Paytas, before the selected candidate meets the contestant on a blind date. The source does not say how the challenges work, how many episodes the series will have or what happens after the date.

Who Is Making the Trisha Paytas Series?

The production brings together executives from Wheelhouse Entertainment and Spoke Studios. Courtney White and Jessica Zalkind are executive producers for Wheelhouse, while Gardner Reed and Cassie Berman are executive producers for Spoke Studios.

Natalie Shabtai is the co-executive producer and showrunner. The Hollywood Reporter noted that Shabtai previously worked as a producer on The Bachelor.

Tubi General Manager of Creator Programs and Executive Vice President of Business Development Rich Bloom said in a joint statement that Paytas has a distinctive voice and a loyal fanbase. Bloom called the project “so uniquely Trisha” and said the creator’s relationship with fans made helping with their love lives a natural next step.

The series adds a hosting role to Paytas’s work as a YouTuber and media personality. She also hosts the Just Trish podcast, and appeared earlier this year on Euphoria and Hacks, according to the report.

What Comes Next for Trisha Paytas on Tubi?

Don’t Date Alone With Trisha Paytas is scheduled to premiere on the free streaming service on Feb. 4, 2027. Tubi has released first-look images, while the report identifies no further details about the episode count or a trailer.

The show’s stated setup gives each contestant’s friend a direct part in choosing a match, with Paytas guiding the compatibility challenges. That premise places the friend’s perspective alongside the contestant’s search for a date, while leaving the eventual blind date as the episode’s selected outcome.
