OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network unveiled today a first-look at the sexy singles featured in a new season of its popular dating show, Ready to Love, from record-breaking producer Will Packer and hosted by Thomas “Nephew Tommy” Miles, which follows grown and sexy men and women looking for lasting love, but this time they’ll be quarantined together at a secluded mountain resort with no outside distractions. The new season will premiere on Friday, October 23 at 9 p.m. ET/PT as a part of the network’s new night of unscripted fall programming.
Filling out OWN’s new Friday night lineup immediately following Ready to Love comes the freshman series Put A Ring On It, also from the creative mind of Will Packer, which is set to premiere on Friday, October 23 at 10 p.m. ET/PT, where four long-time couples embark on the ultimate social experiment to discover if they’re truly meant to be together by dating other people. With relationship coach Dr. Nicole LaBeach on hand to help them get to the truth about why they aren’t married, these couples will finally be able to discover if the grass is really greener on the other side.
