The series has become a behemoth enterprise for the network, with a slew of related shows that just keep coming. In 2014, viewers tuned in to watch couples on K-1 visas test out their lives in America together. They had 90 days before heading to the altar.

The daunting number of 90 Day Fiancé shows can be seen on TLC, Discovery+, or Hulu, depending on which of the offshoots viewers are looking for.

A hardcore 90 Day Fiancé enthusiast can discover a host of juicy tidbits about their preferred couples, such as their travels, home life, struggles, and hobbies. Here are the popular 90 Day Fiancé spinoff shows explained.
90 Day Fiancé
TLC launched 90 Day Fiancé, the original series that prompted all of its successive sequels, in 2014. The show that birthed the others follows couples who have applied for (or have already secured) K-1 visas. These documents allow American citizens to bring their foreign fiances or fiancees to the U.S., where they have 90 days to get married. If they don’t wed, the foreigners must return to their home countries. Many couples from 90 Day Fiancé season 1 appear on spinoffs, including Russ and Paola Mayfield.
90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?
Following the popularity of 90 Day Fiancé, TLC offered 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? so that curious watchers could find out whether couples from the original show were still together, or whether they had called it quits. This spinoff offers fans a chance to catch up with their favorite twosomes after they attempt K-1 visa processes. At this stage, the couples might or might not be married or even living in the U.S. One of the most popular couples from 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? that continues to grab headlines thanks to their many theatrical and controversial antics is Angela Deem and Michael Ilesanmi.
90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days
TLC introduced 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days because the network felt that fans might want to watch these international couples meet for the first time. After they’ve spoken online for a while, the American citizens get ready to travel abroad to meet their screen loves in person. This spinoff allows viewers to witness couples locking eyes for the first time, usually as they run toward each other at an overseas airport.
90 Day Fiancé: What Now?
Similar to 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, fans can follow other choice couples in 90 Day Fiancé: What Now? This series began in 2017 and followed a different group of initial K-1 visa seekers. For example, season 1 featured Melanie Bowers and Devar Walters, who were adjusting to married life and contemplating having a baby. This show airs the progression of the couples’ relationships, including all their triumphs and tragedies.
90 Day Fiancé: Pillow Talk
The hugely popular 90 Day Fiancé: Pillow Talk came on the scene in 2019 and remains one of the most innovate ideas TLC has had to date. This fun spinoff features a rotating cast of 90 Day Fiancé franchise stars, which can include friends and family members. These people watch the most recent episode of the show while offering commentary. Couples who appear on 90 Day Fiancé: Pillow Talk change slightly each week, but Loren and Alexei Brovarnik, Molly Hopkins and her friend Cynthia Decker, and Tim Malcolm and Veronica Rodriguez are often featured. Pillow talkers interact with each other, sometimes arguing but frequently laughing as they analyze what’s taking place onscreen.
90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way
TLC’s next spinoff, 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, took the series in a whole new direction, literally. Now it was the American’s turn to uproot themselves and join their beloved overseas. Various reasons have prompted this role reversal, and in some cases, the American returned home when the relationship failed. In another scenario, Ellie Rose and Victor McLean relocated to Seattle, Washington together, after a category 5 hurricane destroyed Victor’s island home in Providencia. One of the most drama-filled couples on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way was Jenny Slatten and Sumit Singh, who are married and living in India.
90 Day: The Single Life
One of the newest incarnations in the franchise is 90 Day: The Single Life. Now that a multitude of 90 Day Fiancé couples were living out their dream of connubial bliss, it was time for the cast members who ended up single to look for love again. This spinoff allows fans to revisit the cast members they were rooting for, who never made it down the aisle. TLC has already proven that once someone appears on a 90 Day show, they have a good chance of gracing the screen once again, even if their overseas engagement is over. Watching 90 Day: The Single Life gives viewers the opportunity to start new journeys with favorite cast members.
90 Day Cast Member Spinoffs
Some franchise cast members become stars in their own rights and earn themselves personal spinoffs. These shows include Darcey & Stacey, Loren & Alexei, David & Annie, and The Family Chantel. These focused offshoots follow the familiar franchise celebs in their everyday lives, with drama inevitably arising. The longevity of these shows depends heavily on continued interest in these couples’ lives. So far, fans have witnessed Darcey Silva’s complex love life and Stacey Silva’s support, Loren Brovarnik’s pregnancies with Alexei Brovarnik, and Annie Suwan and David Toborowsky’s trip to Thailand. They’ve also seen Chantel Everett and Pedro Jimeno’s family fights.
The plethora of 90 Day Fiancé additions continue to engage viewers, though some have received mixed reviews. Only time will tell how long each will last or whether TLC will introduce yet another spinoff. As long as fans watch, the network will likely keep coming up with ways to entice followers to explore the ongoing drama surrounding their favorite 90 Day stars.
