Amelia Dimoldenberg to End Chicken Shop Date

She will close the series after a final run to focus on a rom‑com with Amazon MGM/Orion, plus a young‑adult drama for the BBC.

Overview

  • On Thursday, Sept. 3, 2026, Dimoldenberg posted on Instagram that the next season will be the show’s last and promised “a few final dates” to be released soon.
  • Chicken Shop Date began as a column when Dimoldenberg was 17, launched on YouTube in 2014, and has run for about 12 years under her Dimz Inc. production banner.
  • Dimz Inc. reports the series helped drive roughly one billion YouTube views, built a multi‑million follower social footprint, and reached audiences in nearly every country worldwide.
  • The show’s deadpan ‘date in a chicken shop’ format drew high‑profile guests such as Billie Eilish, Andrew Garfield and Paul McCartney and became a widely copied online interview template.
  • Dimoldenberg framed the wind‑down as a planned career move that fans mourned online and said it will free her to pursue larger scripted work while preserving the series with a final run of episodes.
