After ‘The Bachelor’ & ‘The Midnight Club’, Elan Gale Scares Up New Twists In Hulu Dating Series ‘Back In The Groove’

Back in the Groove isn’t a Gale creation, per se, he was brought on after How Stella Got Her Groove Back star Diggs and producers Sonya Wilkes and Michael Krupat decided to create a new dating format.
The three women in the show are looking to “rediscover their youth, live joyously, and hopefully find love with men half their age” and this “journey” could be a bit serious without a few laughs.
