In an interview with The Daily Beast’s Obsessed this week, executive producer Chris Culvenor described the challenge of finding the titular Farmers, when the ideal stars not only haven’t done TV before, but may not own TVs.
Based on a format that first premiered in the U.K. in 2001,involves finding potential spouses for agricultural professionals. In Wednesday’s premiere, host Jennifer Nettles introduced the season’s four bachelors: 32-year-old horse breeder Ryan Black, of North Carolina; 32-year-old cattle rancher Allen Foster, of Tennessee; 31-year-old cattle and horse rancher Hunter Grayson, of Georgia; and 35-year-old cattle rancher and farmer Landon Heaton, of Oklahoma.
How different a life the women can handle will be determined in episodes that weren’t provided to critics. The series premiere ends with each Farmer bringing just one woman, initially, back to the farm for 24 hours of one-on-one time, and the men all seem to be carefully easing their would-be Wives into the new environment.
