TLC's '90 Day Fiance' Sets Season 5 Premiere Date (Exclusive)

The series that foisted Anfisa on all of us is coming back to TLC, and we now know when.

The Discovery-owned cable channel will return its “90 Day Fiance” for a fifth season on Sunday, Oct. 8 at 9/8c, TheWrap has learned exclusively.

The anchor show has spawned hit spinoffs “90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days” and”90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?” That latter iteration just scored an all-time franchise high with this past weekend’s Part 2 of its “Tell All” special, which hauled in a 2.0 rating among women 25-54 and 2.4 million total viewers. Those numbers count three days of delayed viewing, which is pretty standard for judging cable series.

Combined with an episode of “Before the 90 Days,” TLC finished No. 1 in women across all of cable TV’s primetime — excluding Nickelodeon, that is, which only observes one hour in the 180-minute day part.

That night ended up being TLC’s highest-rated Sunday prime since January. So yeah, renewal of the O.G. series was kind of a no-brainer.

Season 5 of “90 Day Fiance” will follow six brand-new couples who take a chance on love and bring their potential spouses-to-be stateside, per the official plot. Using a special K-1 visa, the couples are required to get married at the end of only 90 days, or else be forced to return to their home countries.

10 Weird (and a Couple Actually Good) Shows on TLC You Forgot Existed (Photos)

TLC is a prime channel to turn on during sick days or in the middle of the night when you can't sleep. Over the years, the network has produced some pretty weird shows. Here's a roundup. (There are a couple gems at the end.)
Various
"Here Comes Honey Boo Boo"

A spinoff of "Toddlers in Tiaras," "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" was a reality show about Alana Thompson, better known as Honey Boo Boo, and her family. The show ran from 2012-2017. Since Boo Boo rose to full blown meme fame, she's faded out of the spotlight.
TLC
"My Strange Addiction"

This show aired from 2010-2015 and documented the lives of those with behavioral disorders -- like obsessive compulsive disorder. Some of the behaviors featured on the show included being married to a doll and eating bricks.
TLC
"Extreme Couponing"

The things people will do to save money, and boy do these people know how to save. Couponing isn't just a thing you do, it's a lifestyle. The show aired 2010-2012.
TLC
"Hoarding: Buried Alive"

Ever looked at your bedroom and thought about all the extra stuff you should probably get rid of? Maybe it's that kitchen drawer that is too full to open, or your garage doubles as a storage unit. "Hoarding" takes all of that to the next level. Some of the houses pictured on the show literally don't have walking space. The show began in 2010.
TLC
"Mall Cops: Mall of America"

No, this isn't Paul Blart. This show follows the trials and tribulations of being a mall cop at the Mall of America, the country's largest mall. The show only lasted one season, 2009-2010.
TLC
"My Five Wives"

TLC loves shows about polygamy and large families. "My Five Wives" is exactly what it sounds like -- it follows the life of Brady Williams and his five wives. The show only lasted two seasons, 2013-2014.
TLC
"Honey, We're Killing the Kids"

This show is about parents who are teaching such bad habits that it's predicted their children will grow up to be unhealthy or worse. The gimmick is that they have four weeks to change their lifestyle. The show only had one season in 2005.
TLC
"Sarah Palin's Alaska"

After getting a taste of being on TV during her vice presidential run, it seems that the Alaska Governor wanted more and had her own reality show for a year. It only lasted one season, though, from 2010-2011.
TLC
"What Not to Wear"

Alright, we've inundated you with one crazy show after the other, but TLC has had some guilty pleasures, too. Who couldn't love watching Stacy London and Clinton Kelly give makeovers to unsuspecting fashion rule-breakers? The show lasted 12 seasons from 2003-2013.
TLC
"Cash Cab"

This might be the best TLC show of them all. It's the game show equivalent of a wholesome meme: Unsuspecting taxi patrons are ambushed with questions to win money on their way to their destination. The show began in 2008.
