Disney’s ABC News Studios has announced a brand new unscripted dating series called “Muslim Matchmaker”, which has been created by Smriti Mundhra’s Meralta Films.

The series features matchmakers Hoda Abrahim and Yasmin Elhady, who are on a mission to help Muslim American singles find their lifelong partner while staying true to their faith. This duo isn’t messing around with modern dating apps and hook-up culture but instead swear by their cardinal “Rules of Three”: three dates, three months and three hundred questions (yes, you read that right!). From cringey first dates to moments of profound connection, Hoda and Yasmin support their clients in navigating the complexities of dating with the intention of marriage while staying true to their values and beliefs.

The eight-episode series is helmed by Mundhra, a DGA Award-winning, Oscar- and two-time Emmy-nominated filmmaker who directed the Oscar short-listed Outstanding Documentary Short “I Am Ready, Warden,” who serves as executive producer along with Peabody Award-winning and three-time Emmy-nominated director and producer Senain Kheshgi. In each 30-minute episode, the series follows Muslim singles across the country, with Hoda and Yasmin guiding them on the universal quest to find love.

Smriti Mundhra said in a statement regarding the new series:

“Just in time for Valentine’s Day, this series offers lessons on love for audiences of all backgrounds.  Hoda and Yasmin are absolute geniuses at helping single people find true connection amid the toxicity of modern dating culture, and their ‘Rules of Three’ approach is the most effective — and sometimes challenging! — methodology I’ve seen in my decades of experience in the world of matchmaking.”

Senain Kheshgi added:

“As a Muslim American filmmaker, I’m deeply proud of the power of ‘Muslim Matchmaker’ to showcase the vibrant, diverse tapestry of Muslim life in America through stories of love and connection.  The series stands as a beacon of joy, wisdom and family and presents Muslims as integral threads in the American fabric — with our own unique journeys, struggles and triumphs. Hoda and Yasmin’s guidance reminds us of the enduring strength of Muslim traditions and the wisdom they offer in navigating modern life.”

“Muslim Matchmaker” is produced by Meralta Films for ABC News Studios. Smriti Mundhra, Senain Kheshgi, Nina Aujla and Maya Gnyp are executive producers for Meralta Films. Claire Weinraub is executive producer, and David Sloan is senior executive producer for ABC News Studios. Poh Si Teng is the executive producer.

This new original series will be released on Tuesday, 11th February 2025, only on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+.  No international release details for Disney+ have been announced yet.
