Season 1
Seven just-married couples compete for a nest egg worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to kick-start their new lives together and help them realise their dreams, in Here Come the Newlyweds, a new one-hour romantic comedy reality series.
Hosted by comedian Pat Bullard, Here Come the Newlyweds is all about relationships, the differences between men and women, and the universal issues that every couple must face.
The newlyweds are diverse, sexy and competitive, including such pairings as high school sweethearts, couples who fell in love at first sight, an arranged marriage, an interracial couple and two divorcees who are hoping the fourth time is the charm.
In this six-episode show, each couple faces a variety of mental and physical challenges which will test the love and passion they have for one another as well as their competitive spirit.
At the end of each episode, the field will be narrowed as the couples vote to send one couple home. The stakes get higher as the potential nest egg grows, until one couple ultimately wins the grand prize.
