’90 Day Fiancé’: Where Is Season 1 Cast Now?
The world of reality TV is full of shows that crashed and burned, ones that received poor ratings or were canceled due to scandal. A few, however, have risen above the rest for various reasons and have become cult classics. One of these shows is 90 Day Fiancé, a series that has been on the air since 2014 and is still going strong. While viewers love learning about new couples that appear on the show, there is still a lot of nostalgia for the original season, and for the couples featured on those first few episodes.
What is ’90 Day Fiancé’ about?
When 90 Day Fiancé first debuted in January 2014, the premise was totally original. Created as a docuseries, the show focuses on couples who are recipients of or are in the process of getting a K-1 visa.
Therefore, these couples have only ninety days to make all the necessary arrangements to tie the knot. During the course of each season, the featured couples must contend with roadblocks like difficult relatives, friends who are not supportive, culture shock, and problems scheduling the mechanics of the marriage ceremony.
Often times, the couples are tasked with proving that their marriage is the real deal, and not a fake. Although they don’t always succeed in convincing skeptical friends and family, they frequently find lasting happiness.
The original show has gone on to spawn seven spinoffs, including 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After, 90 Day Fiancé: Pillow Talk, and 90 Day Fiancé: Self-Quarantined. For many viewers, however, the original series still stands head and shoulders above the rest.
