Tubi has added a new dating game show to its slate, picking up the first season of Why Are You Single?, a comedy-driven series hosted by Marie Faustin.

The project puts Faustin in multiple roles: host, co-creator and executive producer. Reports indicate she developed the show with Dave Mizzoni, who also serves as co-creator and executive producer, while All Things Comedy joins as the studio partner. The series is set to stream for free on Tubi later this year, giving the platform another unscripted title aimed at viewers who want light, accessible entertainment without a subscription fee.

Tubi is betting that a dating format with a comedian at the center can cut through a crowded unscripted market.

What sets the show apart, at least from the early description, is its blend of dating-game structure and stand-up sensibility. In each episode, Faustin introduces a new setup built around the title question, creating room for both relationship intrigue and comic commentary. The premise signals a series that wants to entertain as much as it wants to match people up, a balance that could help it stand out in a crowded field of romance formats.

Key Facts

  • Tubi picked up the first season of Why Are You Single?.
  • Marie Faustin hosts, co-created and executive produces the series.
  • Dave Mizzoni co-created and executive produces the show.
  • All Things Comedy serves as the studio partner, and the show will stream free on Tubi later this year.

The pickup also says something about Tubi’s broader strategy. Free streamers need originals that feel distinct but not overly expensive, and unscripted shows often fit that target. A dating game show with built-in comic energy gives Tubi a format that can attract viewers looking for easy entry, repeatable episodes and a personality strong enough to anchor the series.

Now the focus shifts to execution. Tubi will need to show that Why Are You Single? offers more than a familiar dating premise with a funny title, while Faustin’s hosting will likely shape whether the series becomes a casual watch or a real breakout. For Tubi, the stakes go beyond one show: every successful original helps prove that free streaming can compete for attention with bigger subscription platforms.
