James Henry, Drea Okeke, and Sixteenth Studios are looking for outgoing singles who aren’t afraid of sharing their red flags for a new dating series for a major streaming network. Nobody’s perfect. Do you still live with your ex?Is there a tattoo from a trip to Las Vegas that needs explaining?Does your mom still track your location?Did you get banned from a dating app for reasons you’d rather not discuss?Is there a story from your past that would immediately change a first date? We’re looking for singles with big personalities, great stories, questionable judgment, and enough self-awareness to own it, who are open to discussing dating, relationships, and personal red flags. The green flags can come later.Right now, we want to hear about the red ones.
