TLC has set a self-quarantined version of its popular “90 Day Fiance” series, with more than 40 cast members returning for a five-episode spinoff.
The network will premiere “90 Day Fiance: Self-Quarantined” on April 20 and check in with both couples still together and individuals to see how they’re affected by the coronavirus pandemic. The series was produced through a combination of self-shot footage and remote video interviews with producers.
“Over the past six years, TLC has traversed 34 countries around the globe to capture couples as they’ve battled distance and obstacles along their path to love, but like the rest of us, they’ve never endured a challenge quite like this,” said Howard Lee, President and General Manager, TLC. “So many fans have been curious about how their favorite couples and individuals are holding up during the crisis, so we’ve asked them to self-film and share their lives in quarantine with all of us. Their stories hold a lens to the world, from anxiety and cabin fever to laughter and inspiration. We’re humbled and pleased they’ve opened their hearts and homes to TLC audiences during this unprecedented time.”
The series is produced by Sharp Entertainment, an Industrial Media company, for TLC.
Variety first reported the news of the spinoff.
