TLC’s high-rated international romance series, “90 Day Fiance,” returns for a second season on Sunday, Oct. 19, 2014, at 9 p.m. ET.
Six new engaged couples trade in their long distance relationships to allow the show’s cameras to follow them as they reunite in the United States and hope that a special 90-day visa for fiancés provides enough time to seal the deal on their marriage.
For the first time, the series’ castmembers include American women who have fallen in love with men from other countries.
