Amelia Dimoldenberg Ends 12-Year Chicken Shop Date Run After 1 Billion YouTube Views

Q: Which A-list celebrity will claim the highly coveted final seat across from Amelia before the iconic chicken shop closes forever?

It has not been announced yet. Amelia Dimoldenberg has confirmed only that Chicken Shop Date will return for “a few final dates” and that the closing run will feature “a last line-up of eclectic guests.” Neither she nor her team has named who will take the final seat opposite her. The strongest publicly discussed possibility is Drake. Dimoldenberg has repeatedly described him as her dream guest, and some coverage of the announcement noted that fans are already speculating she may have secured him for one of the final episodes. But that remains speculation, not confirmed reporting. What is clear is that the final run is being positioned as a farewell to one of YouTube’s most recognizable celebrity interview formats. Recent guests have included Paul McCartney, Zara Larsson and Conan O’Brien, and the show’s history includes A-list names such as Billie Eilish, Andrew Garfield, Cher and Idris Elba. Until Dimoldenberg releases the guest lineup, the identity of the final celebrity remains unknown. Drake is the most talked-about candidate, but there is no official confirmation.

Amelia Dimoldenberg said Chicken Shop Date will finish after a “final few dates,” ending the interview series she launched at 17 and carried through her twenties.
1 billion YouTube views and 4.4 million social followers turned the flirty fried-chicken format into a major digital franchise, with Dimoldenberg’s channel alone topping 3.4 million subscribers.
The show evolved from a youth-magazine column into a regular stop on film publicity tours, drawing guests including Billie Eilish, Andrew Garfield, Paul McCartney, Idris Elba and Paul Mescal.
A final lineup of guests is still to come as Dimoldenberg shifts to new projects, including a BBC young-adult drama and a romantic-comedy film in development with Amazon MGM Studios’ Orion Pictures.
