Bow Wow is getting back to his TV bag!
The entertainer will be making a return to BET as he is set to host a new dating show titled After Happily Ever After. According to the network, the new show that will possibly air this fall, will follow people in long-term relationships that ended in divorce or separation and their exes who look to play matchmaker to help them find love once again.
Bow will host the eight-episode series, marking his return to the network following an 8-year hiatus after hosting 106 & Park.
BET Unscripted Programming Executive Vice President Tiffany Lea Williams said in a statement: “We look forward to airing this entertaining dating series that will help singles find love. This show promises to be full of surprises, twists, and turns that will leave viewers asking for more. We are also thrilled to welcome Bow Wow home to BET and to partner with Bunim/Murray Productions, who has been creating unscripted hits for three decades and always delivers their latest guilty pleasures to viewers. We can’t wait to add After Happily Ever After to our winning portfolio of acclaimed unscripted shows that engage and delight fans across all of our platforms worldwide.”
Bunim/Murray President Julie Pizzi also said,
“We’re thrilled to be collaborating with the BET creative team on this fresh new format that offers a new perspective on the realities of second-chapter dating.” This unique series is created for men and women looking for their second act love story while taking into consideration that they are often still entangled with their exes because of their history, their children, and their extended families. On After Happily Ever After, ex-couples who genuinely loved each other can now work together to give their ex another shot at finding a life-long partner.”
Following the news, Bow Wow also took to his Instagram to share his excitement with his 4.7 million followers. He said,
The new show will be executive produced by Pizzi and Erica Ross with Bunim/Murray Productions. It was said that Tiffany Lea Williams and Angela Aguilera will serve as executive producers for BET as Andrea Richter will serves as the series showrunner.
