Logo has announced its first gay dating show similar to "The Bachelor." The reality show is set to air in the coming fall and will be hosted by Lance Bass, 37.
The network's new project will be titled "Finding Prince Charming." The dating competition seemingly inspired by "The Bachelor" will include a cast of 13 gay members.
"Logo has a long history of showcasing LGBTQ-focused stories with memorable characters that transcend pop culture," Logo Press declared in a public statement. "'Finding Prince Charming' will take viewers on a whirlwind journey through modern love and relationships in a way that only Logo can do."
The Viacom-owned network announced that the contestants will live in the same house together, as they compete to win the heart of one of the "nation's most eligible gay heartthrob." They will be eliminated one-by-one after which in the final episode, the heartthrob will choose his one ideal man to "commit to an exclusive relationship."
The show's contestants will be competing for Robert Sepulveda, an interior designer and founder of the Atlanta Rainbow Crosswalks. The identities of the suitors are yet to be announced. The reality show is currently being filmed at a mansion in Los Angeles, TMZ reported.
Bass seems to be the best choice to be the host of the upcoming show. Best known for NSYNC, he has been featured in GLAAD campaigns supporting the LGBT community and was awarded with the Human Rights Campaign Visibility Award. His wedding to longtime partner was featured on E! as "Lance Loves Michael: The Lance Bass Wedding" in 2015.
"Finding Prince Charming" will be the first reality show in the history of American TV that will feature an all-gay cast. Back in 2003, Bravo tried to venture in this direction with its show "Boy Meets Boy," but it had featured both gay and heterosexual men. Logo's new show is produced by Brian Graden Media along with Dave Mace, Fred Birckhead and Nick Murray stepping in as executive producers.
