Last season, Farmer Wants a Wife was one of the lowest-rated unscripted shows on FOX but the network renewed it anyway. This time around, the show is returning to focus “deeper connections” with just three bachelors looking for love. Will this change impact the ratings in some way? Will Farmer Wants a Wife be cancelled or renewed for season five? Stay tuned.
A dating reality series, the Farmer Wants a Wife TV show is hosted by Jennifer Nettles. This series follows a group of hard-working male farmers as they search for real, lasting love. In season four, the bachelors are Braden Pridemore, Brett Maverick, and Sean Cavanaugh. Each farmer hosts a group of single women who leave behind the comfort and convenience of city life for the charms and challenges of country living. Each farmer and group of hopeful singles meet and mutually select one another before the ladies are invited to experience life on their respective farms. With the hope of finding their ever-after, these singles endeavor to discover the beauty, humor, trials, and romance of finding the one.
