Fox brings back its classic reality series Joe millionaire, the popular dating show that took the world by storm in 2003.
Joe Millionaire: For the richest or the poorest is about to add a new twist to the original format, featuring two single men… with one major difference – one is a millionaire and the other is definitely NOT. Twenty women will date the two men, but they will have no idea who Joe is rich. The series, produced by Fox Alternative Entertainment and SallyAnn Salsano of 495 Productions, is scheduled to air in January 2022.
“This revival of Joe millionaire represents a powerful combination: one of the most innovative and popular dating shows of all time with SallyAnn Salsano, who ranks among the most intrepid producers in the business, â€said Rob Wade, President, Alternative Entertainment & Specials, Fox Entertainment.
He continued: “I have long admired Joe millionaire for its bold premise, and from the moment I joined Fox, I wanted to put it back in the spotlight in a whole new way for new viewers and fans of the original.
The original Joe millionaire debuted in 2003 and saw a group of single women arguing for the affection of a single person presented as a millionaire. However, unbeknownst to the women, the bachelor was not an actual millionaire – a fact that was only revealed at the end of the contest. It became one of the top-rated and most-watched debut seasons for an unscripted series in the past 20 years.
Following its initial network airing, fans will be able to catch up on the new series on Fox’s free streaming platform, Tubi, which is now also home to the original first season of Joe millionaire.
