FOX flips the script on dating with its bold new
series Marriage Market, where real singles ready for marriage relinquish total
control of their love lives to their closest family members, who marry them off
at a market like no other!
From FOX Entertainment Studios, Marriage Market is an
original FOX-owned unscripted series that is slated for FOX's 2026-27 Season.
Hosted by actress, comedian, and podcaster Whitney Cummings, the series
welcomes singles - who are officially over swiping, ghosting, and endless first
dates - into an actual Marriage Market, where they're up for trying something
radical... putting their love lives in the hands of family members that know
them best and risking it all for one shot at forever - in an arranged marriage.
Filled with humor, heart, heartbreak, and unpredictable
outcomes, Marriage Market is a one-of-a-kind, immersive matchmaking experience
where families come together with one goal in mind: helping their single family
member find a meaningful, lasting match. Inside this vibrant, real-world
setting, families meet, connect, and advocate for their loved one as they
search for a perfect partner.
The rules are simple. When two families believe they've
found a match, their singles are introduced and engaged on the spot - with the
ultimate goal of making it to the altar. From there, the couples and their
families move in together, navigating real-life compatibility, big
personalities, and even bigger expectations. At any point, each of the newly
matched singles' families can decide they've found them "the one," or
send their single loved one back into the Marriage Market for another chance at
finding them love.
"Marriage Market gives all new meaning to shotgun
wedding, turning dating on its head with one of the most extreme marketplace
spectacles you've ever seen,'" said Michael Thorn, President of FOX
Television Network. "Watching families come together to make these matches
is deeply relatable and wildly emotional, giving this distinctive concept all
the ingredients of a signature FOX unscripted series."
"Marriage Market is a bold new format that reflects our
strategy of creating distinctive IP that take the kind of big and culturally
relevant risks that viewers love," said Allison Wallach, Head of
Unscripted, FOX Entertainment Studios. "We've taken a timeless idea and
reimagined it in a modern, high-stakes way with the families in full control
and the talented, always funny Whitney Cummings presiding over it all as
host."
