Amelia Dimoldenberg, the quirky and quick-witted host of Chicken Shop Date, is reportedly in talks to land her very first standalone TV show with streaming giant Apple TV+.
The 30-year-old comedian, whose offbeat dating-interview format started as a YouTube series ten years ago, has evolved into a global entertainment sensation, with A-list stars queuing up to appear on her channel. With 3.17 million YouTube subscribers, 4 million TikTok followers, and another 2.7 million on Instagram, Amelia’s signature awkward-charm has become a phenomenon that even Hollywood can’t ignore.
And now, it seems one of the world's biggest streaming platforms wants in.
A TV insider has revealed: “Apple knows it will have a ready-made audience for her show, which is expected to drop on the streamer later this year or early 2026.”
The insider added, “Amelia also has a long list of famous fans who’ve been clamouring to get interviewed by her. It was only a matter of time before one of the streamers came along and harnessed her huge social media influence.”
The exact format of the upcoming show is still under wraps, but fans can expect the same dry humour, deadpan delivery, and uniquely awkward energy that made Chicken Shop Date a breakout success. Whether she’s grilling global pop sensations like Billie Eilish, challenging Jennifer Lawrence to awkward stares, or bantering with cultural icons like Louis Theroux, Amelia brings an original flavour that appeals to both younger digital natives and older fans who enjoy something refreshingly different.
The leap from YouTube to Apple TV+ marks a significant career moment, placing her in the same league as other creators who’ve successfully crossed from online to mainstream platforms. While many internet personalities struggle to make that jump, Amelia has long been lauded for her smart approach to comedy, clever brand partnerships, and her ability to stay true to her unique voice, regardless of the size of the stage.

Although Apple has yet to officially confirm the project, early signs suggest the streamer is investing big in Amelia as a fresh face for its growing entertainment slate. As the battle for exclusive content continues among major platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney+, this move could be Apple’s answer to drawing in a digitally fluent, pop culture-savvy audience.
It’s a major win not only for Amelia, but for the growing number of digital-first creators looking to bridge the gap between online stardom and traditional television success.
Whether she’s sitting in a fried chicken shop or a glossy studio, one thing’s for sure: Amelia Dimoldenberg is having her moment, and it's about to go global.
