OWN‘s unscripted series Family or Fiancé returns for a brand new season this summer and as evidenced by the trailer, the drama is real!

The emotional series, hosted by renowned relationship coach Tracy McMillan, follows real-life couples and their disapproving families as they embark on a three-day social experiment together to unpack their differences through coaching sessions and tasks designed to strengthen bonds. In the end, the families will decide to either bless the couple’s relationship or choose between family or fiancé.

The new season of 'Family or Fiancé' introduces engaged couples and disapproving families with secrets and ongoing issues to unpack.

The new season kicks off on August 6 with an episode featuring Shanika and Justin, a young couple ready to wed but unresolved family issues have put the celebration on hold. While Shanika attempts to reconcile with her estranged brother, Toney, information about her past, and a shocking story about a prior pregnancy and baby that disappeared, causes Justin and his family great concern. Shanika’s family is convinced that Justin might have second thoughts if he knew about all of the lies that Shanika has told in her past, and they are ready to expose it all. 

The new season debuts on August 10 at 9 p.m. with ten one-hour episodes.

Family or Fiancé is executive produced by Jonathan Murray, Julie Pizzi, Erica Ross and Jonathan Singer. It is co-executive produced by Jason “Ninja” Williams, Valana Hunn and Alicia Bean of Bunim/Murray Productions in partnership with OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network.
