FOX Announces “Farmer Wants A Wife” premiering Wednesday, March 8 on the network. Superstar Entertainer Jennifer Nettles To Host As Four Farmers Search For Love In The Heartland Of America.
“Farmer Wants a Wife” is the most successful dating show in the world. The Fremantle-owned format has aired in 32 countries and resulted in 180 marriages and 410 children. In a trend that’s been sweeping America over the last few years, there’s been a migration from city centers to suburban and rural locales, and with that, love follows. In this upcoming series, city meets farm in the search for true romance. Four farmers from across the country embark on an adventure of a lifetime in the hopes of finding their future spouse. Women will leave behind the dating apps and pursuit of love in “the big city” in favor of classic American courtship. The farmers will take their group of daters to their farm and show them what it is really like to live as ranchers do—from tending to the homestead to feeding cattle and baling hay. For the daters, the realities of this lifestyle may beg the question: how much of your life are you willing to change for love?
Nettles is the lead vocalist of the duo Sugarland alongside Kristian Bush. She also had a duet partner on the country version of rock band Bon Jovi’s 2006 single “Who Says You Can’t Go Home”, a number-one hit on the Billboard country chart. She has won three Grammy Awards, four Country Music Association Awards, and an American Music Award for her work both as a soloist and as one half of the duo Sugarland. She is currently a judge on Go-Big Show.
