EXCLUSIVE: Chris Harrison knows a thing or two about dating: he was host of The Bachelor and its spinoffs for nearly 20 years.

The TV presenter is back in the dating scene with a new reality series that has just landed at streaming service Fox Nation.

The untitled series has received a greenlight from Fox Nation and is now in its early stages of pre-production with casting and filming to take place in the coming months. A Fox Nation source told Deadline that it is set to air in 2027.

The show will search for single men and women who want a “traditional, marriage-minded partnership built on commitment and shared values” and are “dating with real intention”.

Several women will embark on a relationship journey designed for individuals seeking lasting commitment. Blending romance, real-world compatibility tests and emotionally charged eliminations, the series reimagines modern dating through the lens of shared values, authenticity, and the goal of marriage, the logline reads.

Deadline understands that the series comes from Lionsgate Alternative Television, which has been behind dating shows such as MTV’s Ex on the Beach as well as Discovery’s Naked and Afraid and Netflix’s Selling Sunset.

Harrison will joined by a number of his former Bachelor alumni. Harrison will exec produce with his wife Lauren Zima, a former producer and host at Entertainment Tonight, alongside Louis Caric, who worked on The Bachelor franchise for ten years, and Lionsgate’s Nicholas Caprio and Tom Huffman.

Elan Gale, who also spent ten years working on The Bachelor franchise and created FBoy Island, which premiered on HBO Max before moving to The CW, is a consulting producer. Lindsay Liles, who worked on The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise among others, is leading casting and Michael Shea, who helmed 100 episodes of Bachelor in Paradise and FBoy Island, is directing.

Harrison teased the project on social media few weeks ago with a casting call. He said, “It’s time to help people find love again.”

It marks his first new show since he left The Bachelor in 2021 under a slight cloud. In March 2021, he was pushed off The Bachelorette following divisive comments in an interview with former Bachelor and Bachelorette star Rachel Lindsay, where he defended Rachael Kirkconnell after photos of her attending an antebellum plantation-themed fraternity party in 2018 went viral.

Harrison apologized for his comments, calling them a “mistake”. But it led to him leaving The Bachelor franchise in June 2021. He had hosted The Bachelor since its launched in 2022 as well as The Bachelorette, Bachelor Pad, the first season of Bachelor in Paradise: After Paradise and The Bachelor: Winter Games.

It’s a coup for Fox Nation and marks its biggest unscripted series to date. The streamer has been increasingly moving into original content and has worked with the likes of Kevin Costner on Yellowstone to Yosemite, Kim Kardashian on her Elizabeth Taylor: Rebel Superstar docuseries, Dan Akroyd on A History of the World in Six Glasses and docudrama series The Saints from Martin Scorsese. The latter is produced by Lionsgate, which is behind Harrison’s new project.
