Does love go stronger any other season than winter? Sure, you might think summer but when it comes to those cuffing season goals, it’s all eyes on right now. So seeing OWN’s ‘Ready to Love’ slated to premiere Friday, January 12 for some non-stop must-see episodes? Oh yes.

It’s all about content these days and with love in the air weeks before Valentine’s Day, the network returns with its hard-hitting boo’d up series. Giddy up.

An all-new season of OWN’s hit series READY TO LOVE returns this winter as 20 eligible singles explore romantic connections in Fort Worth, Texas, as the series takes place in the historic city for the very first time. Hosted by comedian and actor, Thomas “Nephew Tommy” Miles, the dating series explores the real-life romantic rollercoasters of successful and striking Black men and women in their 30s and 40s as they search for authentic relationships. Each week, the series follows along as couples start budding romances with the hopes of turning those into lasting loves, all while navigating a variety of twists and challenges thrown out from Tommy along the way. This year’s #1 cable series in its time slot with key African American female demos on Friday nights, READY TO LOVE returns on Friday, January 12th at 8 PM ET/PT on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network. 

This season on READY TO LOVE 20 stunning singles journey on a quest to find a meaningful love connection with a diverse range of people and backgrounds to choose from, including a flight attendant looking to build a life of love on land, an esthetician who hopes to connect with someone more than just on the surface, and a fashion stylist searching for a muse. Viewers will be surprised by an early no-show that keeps everyone on their toes, unexpected dismissals and complicated love triangles as a new season of READY TO LOVE heats up. From lavish brunches and mixers, action-packed water activities and group dates, all will be confronted with challenging emotions while exploring their romantic interests.
