FARMER WANTS A WIFE: Fox Renews the Reality Series, Adds Kimberly Williams-Paisley as Host

Fox has ordered a third season of the dating competition series FARMER WANTS A WIFE. Season 3 will bow Thursday, March 20 (at 9/8c).

Kimberly Williams-Paisley has also joined the series as its new host, “stepping in as the new resident cupid, guiding these four young farmers and daters as they look for real connections and true love.”

“I enjoyed being myself in this show, which was a new experience for me with my first unscripted series,” said Williams-Paisley in a statement. “Because I’m a city girl who embraced the country life when I married my husband twenty-one years ago, I related to the allure of a farmer for these ladies. I really appreciate how dedicated this show and its producers are in helping these hopeful farmers and women find love.”

“We are thrilled to have Kimberly Williams-Paisley take the reins as our new host,” added Michael Thorn, President, Fox Television Network. “Given her wonderful presence as a talent and person, not to mention her unique love story, Kimberly is a perfect fit for this role and our network.”

According to Fox, the series “is the most successful dating show in the world, airing in 34 countries and resulting in 226 marriages and 565 children (with four on the way). Last season’s farmers Mitchell Kolinsky and Nathan Smothers remain happily in love in their relationships with Sydney Errera and Taylor BeDell, respectively.”

In season 3, “a new crop of farmers host a group of single women who leave behind the comfort and convenience of city life for the charms and challenges of country living, as they embark on an adventure that could change the course of their lives forever. The third season will dive deeper into the beauty and trials of homegrown love, and new twists will put relationships to the ultimate test. Along the way, the farmers and their daters hit the road as they travel to Alabama for a speed dating event, Tennessee for a country ball, and Texas for an overnight camping mixer. New this season, the final daters will bring their families back to the farms where their loved ones will experience first-hand what it is like living in the countryside. As the ladies immerse themselves in the realities of farm life, some will blossom while some will head out to pasture, and only time will tell if they have the patience, spirit and adaptability required to be a farmer’s wife.”
