IS IT ALL FOR LOVE... OR MONEY?
LIFETIME'S PROVOCATIVE NEW DOCUSERIES "MARRYING MILLIONS" PREMIERES JULY 10, EXPLORING THE TRUE INTENTIONS OF SIX DEEPLY IN LOVE COUPLES
Series Comes From The Producers of 90 Day Fiancé
LOS ANGELES, CA (May 23, 2019) - Lifetime explores the love lives of six couples in the new docuseries Marrying Millions, premiering Wednesday, July 10, at 10 pm ET/PT. From the creators of 90 Day Fiancé, the new series follows the relationships where one partner is incredibly wealthy, and the other is definitively not, leading the couple to face intense scrutiny and questioning whether it's true love... or true love of the money and the lavish lifestyles that follow?
Marrying Millions follows six couples who are deeply in love and hoping to marry, but come from completely different worlds. Regular people are whisked off their feet and plunged into a high-end life of riches, extravagant experiences, and glamorous trips around the globe. While it may sound like a modern-day fairytale, it's definitely not all champagne and caviar. On the road to the altar, the couples must try to bridge their vast differences and fit into each other's alien worlds. Ten one-hour episodes have been ordered.
Marrying Millions is produced by Sharp Entertainment for Lifetime and executive produced by Matt Sharp, Dan Adler and Jason Hollis. James Bolosh and Gena McCarthy executive produce for Lifetime.
