Better Late Than Never is an American reality-travel show series that airs on NBC and is produced by Universal Television, in association with Storyline Entertainment. The series is an adaptation of the popular South Korean Grandpas Over Flowers series. The cast includes four "seasoned" American celebrities William Shatner, Henry Winkler, George Foreman and Terry Bradshaw, accompanied by younger comedian Jeff Dye, as they backpack through Asia without luxuries, experiencing new cultures and checking off their bucket lists. The series started productions in August 2015 and premiered August 23, 2016.
On September 22, 2016 NBC renewed the series for a second season.
In late 2014, NBC bought the remake rights for the South Korean series Grandpas Over Flowers from CJ E&M. The original show was one of the first successful programs for cable tvN and had two spin-off shows. 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.
The show is being 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.
