ABC has reportedly collaborated with Sony Pictures to bring this reboot to the audience, according to Deadline. The Celebrity Dating Game will show capture modern dating with an added flavour of single celebrities from different backgrounds trying to find a partner for themselves. The twist in this concept is that the identity of the celebrity will remain a secret, as their suitor will be selected according to their responses in the show. The suitors would have to answer certain questions posed by the celebrities themselves. This new concept with celebrities has rarely been picked up by any channel in the past.
