Will there be a third series of My Mum, Your Dad?
Fans want more!
Last updated 30th Sep 2024
ITV/STV dropped a brand new dating show called My Mum, Your Dad back in 2023, leaving viewers hooked on the relationships of the cast. Whilst Roger and Janey are the only couple to last from the show, it was later commissioned for a second series!
Davina McCall returned to host the second series, which aired in the final two weeks of September 2024. Now the show is over, fans are eager to know if there will be more instalments.
Will there be a third series?
At the time of writing, bosses are yet to confirm if My Mum, Your Dad has been commissioned for third series.
Was there a second series?
On Monday 16th October 2023, bosses confirmed they'd commissioned the show for a second series!
Paul Mortimer, ITV Director of Reality and Acquisitions commented: “The positive reaction to series one was unprecedented in my experience. From widower Roger finding new love, to the grown-up kids cringing in the secret Bunker as their parents dusted down their dating moves, this was a fresh and welcome take on TV matchmaking. I'm so pleased to be able to once again open the retreat to more single parents in 2024.”
Richard Cowles, Managing Director of Lifted Entertainment, said: “The heartfelt reaction to this show was incredible and we are absolutely delighted that ITV are bringing it back for another series. There was real joy in watching the amazing relationships between the grown-up kids and their parents; they cried as their parents' vulnerabilities showed and cringed as new connections and dates played out. My Mum, Your Dad has heart, warmth and laughs in every show and that really resonated with viewers.
When was My Mum, Your Dad on TV?
The second series hit our screens on Monday 16th September, with new episodes every Monday-Friday at 9pm. The series aired for two weeks with the final episode on Friday 27th September.
All episodes of My Mum, Your Dad are available to binge on ITVX and STV Player now.

What channel is it on?
My Mum, Your Dad aired on ITV1/STV1, and ITVX/STV Player.
What is My Mum, Your Dad?
Previously known as The Romance Retreat and middle-aged Love Island, My Mum, Your Dad was a brand new dating show which aired on ITV1/STV1 in September 2023.
Dubbed as 'a dating show with a difference for the whole family', My Mum, Your Dad followed a group of single parents who had been nominated for the show by their grown-up kids for a second chance at love.
Filmed at a stunning country house, viewers got the chance to follow the single parents as they attempted to find love.
However, just like most shows, there was a MAJOR twist! Unbeknownst to the parents, their children were watching in 'The Bunker', where they got the opportunity to play matchmaker and decide their mum or dad's fate.
Who is still together from My Mum, Your Dad?
After series one aired, the cast took to social media to reveal all, with some huge shocks.
Check out which couples are still together from series one:
Are Janey and Roger still together?
Roger was nominated by his daughter Jess for the show, following the sad passing of his wife in 2022. Despite initially enjoying a date with Scottish contestant Caroline, it was the arrival of Janey, who was nominated by her son Will, that really helped Roger open up. After cooling things with Caroline so he could explore things further with Janey, the pair enjoyed spending time together in the retreat, and even shared their first kiss during their final date.
Despite Janey's son Will and Roger's daughter Jess having a few reserves, when they met during the final episode it appeared these were put to bed, with both kids giving their parents their blessings.
Are Janey and Roger still together?
They are! One day after the final episode aired, both Janey and Roger took to social media to confirm they are still going strong. Janey shared a picture of the pair cuddling in bed, whilst Roger posted a photo of the pair at the beach, revealing they are happier than ever!
Since then, the couple have shared loved-up holiday photos, and even discussed future marriage plans! In July 2024, the pair appeared on Loose Women to celebrate their one-year anniversary, where they revealed they more-or-less live together at Janey's place.
Are Natalie and Paul still together?
Natalie was nominated by her son Kaliel for the show, and she was quick to make an impression with Paul, who was nominated by his daughter Mazey. The pair had an instant connection in the retreat and were the first couple to share a snog during the school disco party. Since that moment, they enjoyed getting to know each other more, and displayed a lot of affection around the other cast mates, looking very comfortable in each other's company. On their final date, Natalie even opened up to Paul about her past addictions and troubles.
The positive vibes continued when the pair met each other's kids during the final episode, with both Natalie and Paul being full of praise for each other, both admitting they want things to work outside of the retreat after getting the blessing of Kaliel and Mazey.
Are Natalie and Paul still together?
Unfortunaly not. Despite viewers having high hopes for the pair, one day after the final episode aired they took to social media to release a joint statement which read: Firstly just wanted to say thank you for the overwhelming support from everyone who has watched the show and how invested you have been with our journey. It was an incredible experience and one that we will be forever grateful for taking part in.
'Nat and I had an incredible experience in the retreat and loved every moment, we continued that connection over the summer and had some great times together. Unfortunately in early August we decided to call a day on the relationship. We are both still friends and wish each other the best. Thank you for your continued support and we're very thankful to @davinamccall @itv @mymumyourdaduk for all we gained from the experience❤️'. (sic)

Whilst meeting each other's children during the final episode, both Sharon and Elliott seemed positive about the future, despite the long-distance between the two in Sunderland and Essex. Sharon's daughter Tia and Elliott's son Zachary both championed the relationship, both giving their blessings.

After being nominated for the show by her daughter Taiya, things got off to a slow start for Monique, with the therapist admitting she wasn't attracted to any of the men. However, when new arrivals Martin M and Martin H arrived into the retreat, Monique came into her own! Following a number of dates with the Martins, Monique found herself in a love square alongside fellow contestant Tollulah, but during the final few episodes, Martin M admitted his feelings were strongest for Monique. The pair then enjoyed a final date together, where Monique hinted she'd be happy to move to Ibiza, where Martin lives!
However, following the visit from her daughter Taiya during the final episode, Monique had doubts about Martin's true feelings, later quizzing him about his actions towards her during their time in the retreat.
As fans will know, Monique ended things with Martin during the final episode, admitting she felt they just weren't right for each other. Following the conversation, Martin admitted the experience has taught him to take people's feelings into consideration more. The pair left the retreat as friends.
