The reality dating universe has plenty of roses, hot tub make outs, and tequila-fueled drama, yet Farmer Wants a Wife stays grounded in something real. The FOX reboot, adapted from the long-running British original, swaps Instagram clout for muddy boots and morning chores—and audiences can’t get enough. This year’s season, which premiered March 20 with Kimberly Williams-Paisley guiding the rural romance, follows four eligible farmers as they welcome eight city hopefuls to the land.

Farmers Matt Warren and John Sansone spilled behind-the-scenes intel to Kristin Cavallari on Let’s Be Honest. Sansone laughed that producers slid into their Instagram DMs after spotting enough outdoorsy shots, adding that they had “enough outdoors photos on our Instagram to sneak in there.”

That scouting led to plenty of carefully curated moments. Sansone admitted that the crew kept the men and women apart unless cameras were rolling, saying they “don’t let you hang out at all.” Warren agreed the edit made him look like “a dork” and confessed that watching himself back felt cringey. Controlled filming aside, the franchise’s stats impress any hopeless romantic—11 marriages, a lineup of long-term couples, and 27 babies.

So yes, Farmer Wants a Wife strikes a sweet balance between genuine emotion and reality TV polish. If the sight of hay bales and heartfelt confessionals already has you binge-watching, keep the countryside vibes—and the drama—rolling with these five stellar alternatives.

Farming for Love brings Canadian charm

Need another dose of barnyard butterflies? Farming for Love, available on Tubi and CTV, transplants the Farmer Wants a Wife format to picturesque British Columbia. Hosted by comedian Sabrina Jalees, the series expands the field by featuring male, female, and LGBTQ+ farmers, all hoping to trade lonely nights in the combine for meaningful connections. Season 1 introduced five farmers and 31 city singles, then tossed in a mid-season twist: each grower could meet someone new or focus one-on-one with a current favorite. The result feels inclusive, modern, and—thanks to sweeping Western Canadian landscapes—utterly binge-able.

FBOY Island (and Lovers & Liars spin-off) flips the script on nice guys

If Farmer Wants a Wife is comfort food, FBOY Island is the spicy, street food chaos. Comedian Nikki Glaser hosts three women and 24 men—half “nice guys,” half self-identified f*ckboys—on a tropical island getaway built for drama. Each week, the women eliminate contestants after beachside dates, then learn whether they axed a gentleman or a player. Eliminated f*ckboys head to the hilariously rough “Limbro,” sleeping on bamboo cots while the nice guys lounge in a mansion. Creator Elan Gale swears the underlying question is whether a reformed bad boy can change “for the right person.” Add a $100,000 prize and Glaser’s sharp commentary, and you have a social experiment that’s messy, magnetic, and addictive.

Love & Marriage: Huntsville turns business into a battlefield

Trading tractors for property deals, OWN’s Love & Marriage: Huntsville follows three Black couples trying to revitalize their Alabama hometown through their shared real estate venture, The Comeback Group. Legendary producer Carlos King stirs the pot as friendships collide with boardroom agendas, marriages face cheating rumors, and exes debate custody in the public eye. Season 10 premieres July 19, and Deadline is promising “explosive drama” as cast member Martell Holt decides how to rebuild post-divorce. Where Farmer Wants a Wife offers sweet meet-cutes, Love & Marriage delivers grown-folk stakes—perfect when you crave reality TV with both heart and high-risk hustle.

The Big D gives divorcees a do-over

Over on USA Network and Peacock, six divorced couples jet to Costa Rica for The Big D, hosted by Bachelorette alums JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers. The twist? Exes live together while dating other cast members—or sometimes reigniting old sparks. Relationship expert Dr. Jada leads “ex-ercises” designed to heal baggage and spark new bonds; winners snag romantic dates plus immunity at elimination time. Every episode ends with a vote to boot one unlucky single, pushing alliances into overdrive. By the finale, one reborn couple claims $50,000 and, hopefully, a healthier shot at forever. Think of it as couples therapy meets reality game show—ideal for viewers who like their love stories served with equal parts closure and chaos.

The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys ropes in real-life Yellowstone drama

Bravo’s The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys feels tailor-made for fans who gush over Farmer Wants a Wife but secretly crave Yellowstone-level stakes. Cameras follow Doug McBee and his Missouri clan as they juggle expanding a cattle empire toward a billion-dollar market valuation while dodging financial disaster. Family tensions over succession, market fluctuations, and rural town politics keep the pace high, and Season 2 premieres on June 30. TV Fanatic already raves that the show “catapult[s] to the top of must-see lists” for anyone obsessed with ranch culture. In short: big hats, bigger banknotes, endless intrigue.

Live From Bed
Live From Bed is your official invitation to hide from the world with me — your permission slip to unravel out loud. Every Wednesday, I pull the covers over my head and drag my favorite people in with me — from internet sensations to experts — to celebrate our bad habits, worst traits, and the internal monologues that probably make both our therapists and the group chat nervous. We talk about the friendships that downgraded from ride-or-die to ‘hope you're well’, the plans we’re praying get canceled, the milestones we’re nowhere near — and the texts we wish we hadn’t sent. If your best friend’s ignoring your FaceTime… and you’ve already messed up one too many social interactions this week, this is your place. No unsolicited advice. No annoying success stories. Just the things we all think but wish someone else would say first — and a whole lot of commiserating.
