‘90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way’; Everything We Know About TLC Spinoff

TLC fans will be happy to know that there is another “90 Day Fiance” spinoff on the way. The latest installment to the franchise, title, “90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way,” will join the popular spin-off “90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?” and “90 Day Fiancé: What Now?” which was released as a digital series for TLCgo.

On Thursday, TLC President and General Manager Howard Lee announced the network is working on its fourth spinoff, which will feature a twist, according to Deadline.

For those who are excited about watching a brand new set of couples that are eager to find their happy ending, check out everything we know so far about “90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way.”

The Premise Of The Series Will Be Reversed

“90 Day Fiancé” documents the lives of foreigners with K-1 visas who are engaged to a US resident. The couple has 90 days to decide whether they will marry and reside in the US, or opt out of a legal union, forcing the foreigner to return to their residence outside of the US. However, “90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way” will follow the lives of US citizens who want to move overseas to live with their fiancé.

Production Does Not Have Control Over The Couples

Although there have been speculations that the TLC series is scripted, EP and CEO of Sharp Entertainment, Matt Sharp, revealed the network casts couples by reaching out to immigration attorneys. “We don’t put people together. Everyone we feature on the show, they found themselves organically,” he explained.

The “90 Day Fiancé” Casting Process Inspired The Spinoff

“90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way” was born after production began to realize some couples weren’t interested in starting their lives together in the US. “We noticed in the casting process there were Americans who said I’m going to forego my lifestyle, my family, my culture, my country to be with this person. There have been little bits of this in other shows,” Sharp said.

The Couples Are Not Affected By The Reality TV Curse

Due to the high rate of many marriages ending in divorce after being featured on reality television, Sharp insisted most of the couples featured on the TLC franchise end up in stable marriages. “Our batting average on this show is that out of every 25 couples on ‘90 Day Fiancé,’ we’ve only had three divorces,” Sharp stated.

“That’s less than 10% and the current U.S. (divorce) rate is over 40%. It’s one of the reasons why people love this show, it’s so unexpected.”

TLC has not announced a premiere date for “90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way.”
