We're saddlin' up for another round of romance and surprise as last season's television phenomenon returns for another wild ride with new twists and turns around every palazzo with THE NEXT JOE MILLIONAIRE: AN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR.
With seemingly every woman in America already in on our faux-millionaire secret, FOX had no choice but to search the globe to find the most beautiful, albeit clueless, women on the lookout for "Mr. Price-is-Right."
Fourteen European beauties, unaware of the first installment's twists, travel to Italy for a whirlwind romance with a man who they think is a dashing American millionaire. The women, who have been whisked off to a beautiful villa in the Italian countryside, believe that our "Joe Millionaire" has recently inherited 80 million dollars and is looking for a special someone to share his newfound wealth. Little do they know this urban cowboy barely has two Euros to rub together. In actuality, our new "Joe Millionaire" is David Smith, 24, a rodeo cowboy from Texas who currently earns only $11,000 a year.
What will happen when the truth is finally revealed that he is a just a regular "Joe" and his wealth is a facade? As this handsome, young, eligible man begins his search for "The One," he discovers which of these women are out for true love and which are just interested in his bank account. And what are the other twists and turns the series will take as David narrows his choice down to one lady?
JOE MILLIONAIRE is produced by Rocket Science Laboratories. Jean-Michel Michenaud and Chris Cowan serve as Executive Producers. Roberto Cardenas is supervising producer.
JOE MILLIONAIRE, Starring Evan Marriott:
Romance and reality intertwine as 20 women travel to France for a whirlwind romance with a man whom they think is a dashing millionaire. What will happen when the truth is finally revealed that he is a just a regular "Joe" and his wealth is a facade? Will his true love accept him for who he is, or reject him in search of greener pastures? As this handsome, young, eligible man begins his search for "The One," he discovers which of these women are out for true love and which are just interested in his bank account in JOE MILLIONAIRE, the new, seven-episode, unscripted drama series from the creators of the hit series "Temptation Island," premiering Monday, January 6 (9:00 PM-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
In actuality, "Joe Millionaire" is a construction worker raised in humble surroundings with only limited financial security. However, the 20 women who have been whisked off to a beautiful chateau in the French countryside believe that "Joe" has recently inherited 50 million dollars and is looking for a special someone to share his newfound wealth. "Joe," in the ultimate fantasy setting, will be introduced to women that due to his social standing he would not be able to meet in his everyday life. Among the beautiful, smart and sophisticated women gathered are a doctor, banker and business development executive.
Over the course of his stay at the chateau, "Joe" will court each of the women. As he woos them with romantic horseback rides through the countryside, wine-making at the estate's vineyard, private dinners at the Eiffel Tower and unique and priceless gifts, "Joe" will grapple with the difficulty of maintaining his million dollar charade. As the series progresses, "Joe" ultimately narrows his choice to one woman and must finally reveal the truth about his month-long masquerade and his real financial standing to her.
Will his chosen companion reject him once she learns the truth, or will true love win out?
