Fox Nation is leaning into Bachelor Nation with its new dating reality series hosted by Chris Harrison.
Chris Harrison’s The Vow, which Deadline revealed in February, is set to premiere on the streamer on November 11. The six-part series will roll out weekly with the season finale on December 9.
The show will see 30-year-old Jace Cates as its first eligible bachelor. He will embark on a relationship journey with ten women, each seeking lasting commitment and marriage. Through curated dates and real-world compatibility challenges, the show explores whether shared values, faith, communication, and long-term goals can build a relationship designed to last long after the cameras stop rolling, per the logline.
In the teaser trailer, Harrison is leaning into the fact that he is best known for hosting The Bachelor and its spinoffs over the last twenty years. “Expecting someone else?,” he says as the camera does a very Bachelor-esque reveal. “Roses fade. True love lasts forever,” he adds with a pointed smile.

It will also feature members of Bachelor Nation; Sean and Catherine Lowe, who fell in love on Season 17 of The Bachelor in 2013, will make an appearance.
It is Harrison’s first new show since he left The Bachelor in 2021 under a slight cloud. In March 2021, he was pushed off The Bachelorette following divisive comments in an interview with former Bachelor and Bachelorette star Rachel Lindsay, where he defended Rachael Kirkconnell after photos of her attending an antebellum plantation-themed fraternity party in 2018 went viral. Harrison apologized for his comments, calling them a “mistake”. But it led to him leaving The Bachelor franchise in June 2021.
Chris Harrison’s The Vow is produced by Lionsgate Alternative Television. Harrison exec produces alongside Lauren Zima, Nicholas Caprio, Tom Huffman and Louis Caric, who serves as showrunner. Elan Gale is a consulting producer.
Harrison said, “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. 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.”
Lauren Petterson, president of Fox Nation, added, “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.”
