Will these heartland hunks be able to find love? Fox’s new reality series Farmer Wants a Wife follows four eligible bachelors who are searching for the perfect woman to complete their down-home life. The ultra-country guys will meet a group of single ladies who are hoping to ditch the comforts of the city for the charm of the country.

This cowboy (re)boot is made for gawking! Four ranchers romance single women in a Yellowstone-meets-The Bachelor reality show, Farmer Wants a Wife — a more equitable update on The CW’s 2008 attempt. “They pick each other,” showrunner Lauren Taylor Harding says, explaining that each gal decides which guy she “vibes with” before moving to his farm to “date” him. Ahead of the premiere’s onscreen meet-and-greet, Harding spilled deets on this wild bunch. 1. Ryan Black, The Cultured Cowboy (Credit: Michael Becker/Fox) At 32, the North Carolina horse trainer is outdoorsy and erudite. “[He lives out on] his farm with horses,” Harding says. “But he is not afraid to take off his cowboy hat and enjoy a nice glass of wine at the end of the day.” 2. Allen Foster, The True Grit (Credit: Michael Becker/Fox) This dude, with shaggy locks and a handlebar mustache, is a classic cowboy. He is a “what-you-see-is-what-you-get” guy,...

But to those who got to know the transgender icon over the years, Arquette was way more than pomp and pageantry.
"A lot of people saw the campy side of him, the sort of outrageous, balls-to-the-wall side, but his private side was very sensitive, very intellectual, very smart," says producer/writer Ryan Black, who dated Arquette in 1999 and stayed in touch over the years.
