Chris Harrison is ready to help another eligible Bachelor find love on his brand-new Fox Nation dating show, Chris Harrison’s The Vow — where he’ll be joined by two familiar Bachelor Nation faces.
The new reality series will kick off with a two-episode premiere on Nov. 11, Lauren Petterson, president of FOX Nation, announced on Tuesday. It was also revealed that Sean and Catherine Lowe, who met and went on to wed after The Bachelor season 17, will make an appearance on The Vow “to share their experience and offer advice on what it takes to build a lasting partnership,” per a release.
The first look at The Vow teases Harrison’s return to his longtime role as a dating show host, the title he previously held on The Bachelor, while also throwing shade towards the former franchise.
The teaser heavily hints itself as a trailer for the Bachelor franchise, with red petals falling all over, encouraging viewers to “get ready” for “the Bachelor” and “the women,” before Harrison is finally revealed on camera. “Expecting someone else?” he says.
“Rose is fake, true love lasts forever,” Harrison adds in the teaser. “The Vow, new series about finding true love.”
Harrison exited The Bachelor in 2021 after hosting the series for almost two decades, following backlash over an interview with former Bachelorette star Rachel Lindsay. In the interview, he defended Rachel Kirkconnell, who went on to win Matt James’, the first Black Bachelor, season, after Kirkconnell’s past racially offensive behavior resurfaced online. Harrison has not returned to host a reality dating show since, with The Vow marking his return to the format.
“I’m so excited to be back helping people find love, and FOX Nation has been an incredible partner in bringing this vision to life. We were inspired by the faith-driven renaissance happening across America, and as a result, I believe we’ve created the most authentic dating show on television today,” Harrison said in a statement. “At a time when so many people feel dating has become harder than ever, The Vow asks a simple but important question: Can genuine, lasting love still be found in the modern world? The stakes couldn’t be higher. I’m incredibly proud and honored to put my name on this show.”
Jace Cates, 30, will lead The Vow as he navigates dating 10 women who are “each seeking lasting commitment and marriage.” A logline for the series continues, “Through curated dates and real-world compatibility challenges, Chris Harrison’s The Vow explores whether shared values, faith, communication, and long-term goals can build a relationship designed to last long after the cameras stop rolling. At a time when much of modern dating culture is driven by fleeting connections and social media attention, the series offers a different approach by placing the focus on meaningful relationships, commitment and building a life together.”
Produced in partnership with Lionsgate Alternative Television, Chris Harrison’s The Vow is executive produced by Harrison, Lauren Zima, Nicholas Caprio, Tom Huffman, showrunner and EP Louis Caric, with Elan Gale serving as consulting producer, casting by Lindsay Liles and directed by Michael Shea. Chris Harrison’s The Vow is distributed internationally by FOX Entertainment Global, which holds finished tape and format rights.
Petterson added in a statement, “Chris Harrison helped shape one of television’s most recognizable genres, and we’re thrilled to partner with him on a fresh, thoughtful take that returns the focus to what so many people are ultimately searching for: a genuine connection built to last. This series explores the conversations, values and real-life moments that matter long after production ends, and we believe audiences will connect with its authentic and hopeful approach to finding lasting love.”
