"Love Connection" Scores Season 2 at Fox

"Love Connection" is sticking around! The rebooted dating game show, hosted by "Watch What Happens Live's" Andy Cohen, has been renewed for a second season at Fox, TV Guide has learned.

"Andy Cohen is a phenomenal host, not only because he has brought so much fun to the show but also because he truly wants these participants to find love, and that genuine level of interest enables him to elicit both touching and hilariously awkward dating moments from them," said Rob Wade, Fox's President of Alternative Entertainment and Specials, in a statement.

"Love Connection's" original run lasted from 1983 to 1994 and then came back for a one-year stint in 1998 before Cohen and "Bachelor" creator Mike Fleiss rebooted it this summer.

Each episode focuses on a single man or woman who can't seem to find their soulmate. After telling Cohen what they are looking for in a romantic partner, he sets them up on three dates in hope of finding them the one.

"Love Connection" Canceled after Two Seasons on Fox
by Denise Petski
February 27, 2019

It’s official. Fox has canceled its "Love Connection" reboot after two seasons, Deadline has confirmed. Host Andy Cohen announced the cancellation Wednesday morning during an interview on Howard Stern’s satellite radio show.

The cancellation of the dating show revival is not a surprise. The series was not a strong ratings performer. It averaged a 0.5 rating and 1.6 million viewers in Live+Same Day viewing in its second season.

While the series is not returning, we hear Fox would love to work with Cohen again and is looking forward to the next project with him.

I'm really not surprised by this news at all.

Cool! I’m glad Cohen’s version of Love Connection did not work out because it’s just as worse as the 1998 revival with Pat Bullard.

The show needs a better host.
