Single men and women will match up, based on their instant chemistry, but the real soap opera will unfold when these budding couples discover whether or not they have the compatibility to make their relationships last. Further details will be announced at a later date.
"I am so happy to be making my first dating series with FOX," says Burnett. "It's a genre that attracts a wide audience and our series gives a very fresh perspective that mirrors real life."
