## Synopsis

90 Day Fiancé (2014-present) is an American reality docuseries broadcast on TLC, following international couples who have just 90 days to marry after one partner enters the United States on a fiancé visa. Cast members such as Jovi Dufren, Yara Zaya, Colt Johnson, Larissa Lima and Molly Hopkins appear as themselves, and host Erica Hill introduces the series. The engine is simple and urgent: each couple must reconcile differing expectations, languages and home cultures while a visa clock ticks down toward a wedding. Each season is a run of unscripted episodes built from cohabitation, family visits, arguments over money and customs, and tense decisions about whether a relationship can survive the move. Across twelve seasons the format has been a consistent returning franchise, with the relationships shifting from one cast to the next. The tone is candid, sometimes heated and often wistful, with confessional interviews framing each domestic clash. Its look is that of a glossy cable reality program, shot in homes, airports and family kitchens. Fans of Love Is Blind, The Bachelor and Married at First Sight will find the same blend of romantic hope and televised conflict.
