Big news for 90 Day Fiancé fans!
TLC announced a new limited series called 90 Day Fiancé: Self-Quarantined on Thursday (April 2), a spin-off based on the ongoing pandemic.
The five episode limited series will premiere on April 20 with more than 40 cast members set to return.
Talking via computers and video chat “is already in their DNA,” said TLC’s Howard Lee of the show, via Variety.
Cast members began recording themselves — and one another — earlier in the week, and will be taped for confessional interviews by producers over video chat.
“Our crew is not near them physically at all. They will be helping them remotely. And they have no problem with this, the couples. They’re seizing this opportunity. I think that they’re actually really enjoying it, being able to show a part of their lives at home,” Howard went on to say.
“This series will look very hot-off-the-press — it will look like the paint has not dried. I think our audience is incredibly forgiving right now, and I’m hoping that they accept the way it looks. It will be messy!”
Some of the cast members are living together, while others are alone. Some are still together in relationships, but are physically apart.
“We’re still working with many of them and trying to see who we can get,” he added.
“If for some reason, this is popular, and the audience really loves it, I don’t know — maybe there’s more down the road!”
