Come Home Love: Dinner at 8 (Chinese: 愛·回家之八時入席; literally "Love Returning Home, Seated at 8") is a 2016 daily half-hour Hong Kong sitcom created by TVB and produced by Law Chun-ngok who also produced the two previous Come Home Love. Filming began in March 2016 and will be filmed as it airs. The series premiered on April 4, 2016, airing every Monday to Friday on Hong Kong's TVB Jade, Malaysia's Astro Wah Lai Toi and Australia's TVBJ channels during its 8:00-8:30 pm timeslot, with an expected 120 episodes.[1] As at August 17, 2016, it is announced that the episodes to be increased to 200.

Come Home Love: Dinner at 8 is an indirect sequel to the previous two series that shares the "Come Home Love" title. Unlike the second Come Home Love which spawned off from the first series with a few returning characters from the first series to tie the two series together, Come Home Love: Dinner at 8 has no connections to the two previous series that shares part of the same title. The only returning cast member from the previous series Florence Kwok, plays a completely different character in Come Home Love: Dinner at 8. The Come Home Love was added to the title of the new sitcom as TVB was bittersweet to see the long running highly rated series come to an end [2]

The series revolves around employees of a fictional Hong Kong television station and their personal family life.
