American reality-travel show
Better Late Than Never is an American reality -travel show which aired on NBC and was produced by Universal Television (under its Universal Television Alternative name), in association with Storyline Entertainment.[1] [2] The series is an adaptation of the South Korean Grandpas Over Flowers series.[3] [4] The cast includes four "seasoned" North American celebrities William Shatner , Henry Winkler , George Foreman , and Terry Bradshaw , accompanied by younger comedian Jeff Dye , as they travel overseas, experiencing new cultures and checking off their bucket lists.[4] [5] The series started productions in August 2015[6] and premiered August 23, 2016.[7]
On September 22, 2016, NBC renewed the series for a second season, set in various European countries, which premiered on January 1, 2018. A special preview aired on December 11, 2017.[8] [9] On July 16, 2018, the series was canceled after two seasons.[10]
Production
[ edit ]
In late 2014, NBC bought the remake rights for the South Korean series Grandpas Over Flowers from CJ E&M .[3] [11] The original show was one of the first successful programs for cable tvN and had two spin-off shows.[3] [4] It premiered in 2013, reached a high local rating of 12.5 percent, and became popular in other Asian countries, with the combination of veteran actors in their seventies and a popular young actor attracting a wide demographic range of viewers for a reality show.[12] [13]
The show was produced by cast member Winkler, along with Jason Ehrlich, producer of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette , Tim Crescenti, of I Survived a Japanese Game Show and Storyline Entertainment's two producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron , of The Bucket List .[1] [2]
Plans for the series were announced in June 2015.[1] [2] Productions started in Japan in August, and on August 12, 2015, the cast was interviewed by comedian Bibiru Ōki on Japan's Nippon TV talk show PON! , and filmed for the NBC show with the Japanese cast.[14] Also in August, the cast visited South Korea, arriving in Seoul on August 20 for a three-day trip, including a visit to COEX for filming with cameo guests, K-pop girl group Girls' Generation , and trips to Hwaseong Fortress ,[15] Caribbean Bay , Itaewon , and the Korean Demilitarized Zone .[16] [17] [18] [19]
Japan, including Tokyo and Kyoto , was the first stop for the show, with more trips to include Seoul, Hong Kong , Phuket and Chiang Mai .[12] [20] [21]
According to NBC, the five cast members would rely on each other for support and encouragement and demonstrate that friendship is the ultimate gift.[22] While filming the show in Southeast Asia, Shatner, at age 84, became interested in Buddhism and meditation after spending time with a Buddhist monk.[23] He said, "The disaster of death is encroaching so I'm more and more aware of how beautiful it is to be alive."[23]
Cast
[ edit ]
The cast included actor, producer, writer and director Henry Winkler, best known for his character The Fonz from the series Happy Days ;[1] actor, director and writer William Shatner who starred as, among other roles, Capt. James T. Kirk in Star Trek ;[1] [20] four-time Super Bowl -winning quarterback and current football broadcaster Terry Bradshaw;[22] and former heavyweight boxing champion George Foreman.[22] Like the original show, the older cast was accompanied by a younger cast member, comedian Jeff Dye, from NBC's Last Comic Standing , who took on the equivalent role as Lee Seo-jin ’s, as "bag carrier and human navigator."[4]
