How TLC's New '90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way' Couples Met and What to Expect

90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way is back for another season on TLC.

The reality television show, one of many spinoffs of the very popular 90 Day Fiancé, follows several Americans as they pack their bags and leave home, all in the name of love.

In Season 4 of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way viewers will be introduced to six new couples who plan to marry within a matter of days, even though some of them are yet to meet in person.

The episodes will see the various cast members travel to several different locations across the world, but will their expectations be met when they are reunited, or finally come face to face, with their potential spouses, or will couples be left with regrets?

The format of the series is the reverse of the original 90 Day Fiancé concept, which follows non-Americans who become engaged to people living in the United States and travel there before they decided whether or not to marry.

Newsweek has everything you need to know about the couples taking part in 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way Season 4, and what TLC has teased about their storylines.
