Fox’s Farmer Wants a Wife is the second attempt at an American take on the popular reality franchise, which has aired in 35 countries since the original British version debuted in 2001. The first U.S.-based version of the show aired on the CW in 2008, but it only lasted one season.

Farmer Wants a Wife Season 1 wrapped up on May 17. But a new crop of down-home dudes will be searching for the right woman on another season of the show. On May 15, the network confirmed that it had ordered Farmer Wants a Wife Season 2.
