Alongside news of the premiere, E! Africa also revealed the trailer, giving audiences a sneak peek at the commentary from some of South Africa’s funniest personalities, as they watch singles navigate the unpredictable world of blind dating.
Dating #NoFilter brings together a dynamic cast of 16 commentators, led by comedian, TV personality and actor Jason Goliath (E!’s Celebrity Game Night, Ses’ Top La).

“Having had a home on E! Africa for all four seasons of the SAFTA-winning Celebrity Game Night, I’m delighted to be leading E’s latest, exciting local production: Dating #NoFilter,” said Goliath. “It’s been so much fun to team up with so many local talents while showcasing the quirks of South Africa’s dating culture. If viewers have just as much fun as we’ve had commentating, they’re in for a treat!”
Filmed in Johannesburg, Dating #NoFilter is a local adaptation of the successful format. The series originally aired on E! in the US, with the African version marking the fourth international adaptation.
