It’s never too late for love on the new Netflix dating series,The Later Daters!

Ury, a Harvard trained behavioral scientist, is on hand to coach the singles as “they navigate a whole new dating world and its different rules and online etiquette (where the eggplant emoji maybe doesn’t mean what they think it does)," according to an official synopsis.

“Whether divorced, widowed, or longtime single, they end up forging deeper connections not only with their families and potential partners, but with themselves,” the description continues.

In PEOPLE’s exclusive first look at the series — which is a Boardwalk Pictures and Higher Ground production from executive producerMichelle Obama— a producer asks the singles what they hope for in “the next chapter” of their lives.

“I’ve been married twice. Husband number one fell asleep with a cigarette and burnt the house down. Husband number two’s dead too. Now, do you want to go out with me?” Pam asks one suitor, much to his dismay.
