Chris Harrison is set to return to reality television with a new dating series on Fox Nation that will focus on “traditional marriage.”
The still-unnamed series is already in the early stages of pre-production and set to begin casting, then filming at some point in the coming months, Deadline reported. It will follow a group of women as they “embark on a relationship journey designed for individuals seeking lasting commitment,” the logline reads. “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.”
Harrison previously teased the series with a casting call for the project on Instagram, seeking out single men and women ages 21 and older “who want a traditional, marriage-minded partnership built on commitment and shared values.”
“We’re looking for singles who believe in clear roles, long-term commitment, and building a life together — and who are dating with real intention,” the post continued.
Harrison’s new series is slated to air sometime in 2027. It will mark his first show since his exit from “Bachelor” nation in 2021. He left the franchise after making racially insensitive comments while defending a former contestant, Rachael Kirkconnell, who’d been facing backlash at the time for photos of her at an antebellum plantation-themed college party.
Harrison later apologized for his comments, dubbing them a “mistake,” but they still resulted in his departure. Before that, he’d hosted “The Bachelor” since its debut in 2002 as well as “The Bachelorette,” and their spin-off shows.
