Season 3 of 'Daddyhunt: The Serial' Is Here

BJ Gruber and Jim Newman in 'Daddyhunt: The Serial'

Daddyhunt: The Serial is back with Season 3 continuing the saga of two men who connect on the social network, Daddyhunt.

The popular digital series follows the romance of a hunky daddy ‘Graydon’ (played by woofy Jim Newman) and his younger bf ‘Ben’ (played by oh-so-cute BJ Gruber).

In addition to chronicling the ups and down of gay dating today, the series also incorporates some useful info for gay men.

The second season introduced the topic of PrEP, and offered PSAs featuring the series’ actors covering topics like condom use, regular testing and more.

Season 3 builds on that with an emphasis on STD testing and partner notification (telling sexual partners they may need to get tested).


The first episode of the new season opens on Graydon and Ben having grown closer and more intimate, but a past love brings to the surface some insecurities and doubts that have an impact on the couple.

Ben’s bestie, ‘AJ,’ (Michael Snipe Jr.) gets a new love interest – but they too face some struggles early on.

And then there’s Graydon’s ex, ‘Andrew’ (David Farrington), who seems to have his own agenda in the mix.

As in Season 2, Daddyhunt again partnered with Building Healthy Online Communities (BHOC), to weave in storylines relating to STD testing, and the challenge of telling partners that they might have inadvertently given them an STD.

Dan Wohlfeiler, of BHOC, had been talking for some time with Carl Sandler, the CEO of Daddyhunt, about how Daddyhunt could incorporate these strategies.

“He sent me the first season of the Daddyhunt: The Serial, and I was hooked,” shares Wohlfeiler. “It had incredibly talented actors, terrific production values and a really compelling script. We started talking about how we could do a second series with a story line about some of the big issues that gay men are facing when it comes to HIV...PrEP or condoms? Or both?”

“I’d previously met Dan Wohlfeiler at an AIDS Conference,” said Carl Sandler, CEO and Co-Founder of Daddyhunt. “After watching the first season of the DADDYHUNT: THE SERIAL, Dan contacted me and asked if there was a way we could work together on a Season 2 of the Serial and maybe include a public health component to the storyline."

"I immediately thought that this was a great idea because we want to educate our users about condoms, PrEP, the importance of routine testing and other safe sex practices. By working together with BHOC, we have managed to reach not only Daddyhunt users but millions of viewers, entertaining and educating them about these important topics.”

Along with the four episodes that make up Season 3, Daddyhunt is also releasing six accompanying PSAs featuring the actors encouraging gay men to seek out information on getting tested, PrEP, maintaining an undetectable viral load, and advice on writing a good online profile.

You can check out episode 1 of Daddyhunt: The Serial Season 3 below.

Episode 2 is set to drop October 30. Find that and all past episodes of the web series on the Daddyhunt YouTube Channel.

Video: "Finding Daddy" from Daddyhunt


Popular dating site DaddyHunt has launched it's own photo sharing/geolocation-based dating app named, appropriately, Daddyhunt.

What separates this app from other smart phone apps? Daddyhunt celebrates the value of older men.

From DaddyHunt:

And unlike other apps where young guys have all the power, Daddyhunt is the place where older dudes rule. In fact, for older guys on Daddyhunt, the odds are always in their favor. Now is the best time to be a Daddy. Gay and Bisexual men over 40 are thriving, successful, happy and report getting more attention from guys than ever before. Gay or straight, many people find the idea of a hot, stable older man, appealing. Experience matters!

All of that to say - to promote the launch of the app, Daddyhunt has created several fun short, videos with the tag line "Experience matters!" I think the video is cute.
