90 Day Diaries
Best Season(s): 1, 4, 6
Most Iconic Couples: Julia & Brandon, Colt & Cortney, Steven & Olga
This 90 Day Fiancé spinoff is completely self-shot, allowing franchise favorites to share major moments in their lives with fans even when the camera crew isn’t present. We love to see the big moments in our favorite cast members and couples’ lives, but in the age of social media, this series doesn’t feel as necessary as some of the others on the list.
Best Season(s): 2, 3
Most Iconic Couples: Shawn & Alliyah, Luke & Madelein
Love in Paradise follows couples who met while they were on vacation and are now trying to “salvage their holiday flings.” While the series, which hasn’t seen a new season since 2024, is a fun spin on the 90 Day Fiancé formula, the relationships featured frequently feel like they can just be included in a season of The Other Way or Before the 90 Days instead.
90 Day Bares All
Best Season(s): 1, 2
Most Iconic Couples: Robert & Anny, Chantel & Pedro
If the Tell All is your favorite part of every 90 Day Fiancé season, 90 Day Bares All is definitely the spinoff in your wheelhouse! Hosted by Shaun Robinson, the series features cast members who “reveal pivotal information and speak completely uncensored” about their time on the show. While a new season hasn’t aired since 2021, we’re dying to see this uncensored interview format return to TLC!
Best Season(s): 4, 7, 9
Most Iconic Couples: Chantel & Pedro, Loren & Alexei, Elizabeth & Andrei
Happily Ever After? is 90 Day Fiancé‘s “Where Are They Now?” series, following the everyday lives of successful couples and budding relationships from the franchise. The most recent season, Season 9, also featured the relationships and heated drama between multiple couples from the same friend group. If you’re deeply invested in the franchise, this is the perfect show for you!
Best Season(s): 1, 2
Most Iconic Couples: Gino & Jasmine, Yara & Jovi, Angela & Michael
Before franchise favorite couples hit the end of the road together, they give their love one last shot, attempting to salvage their relationship on a group therapy retreat. While there have only been two seasons of the show so far, it has certainly brought tension, drama, and emotion to the franchise. Now, as couples grow distant on Happily Ever After, the entire fandom can’t help but wonder: Will they be the next couple on The Last Resort?
Best Season(s): 1, 2, 4
Most Iconic Couples: Jenny & Sumit, Shekinah & Sarper, Kenny & Armando
The Other Way follows American citizens moving abroad to live with their international partners. While these daters aren’t meeting their loves for the first time, as they are on Before the 90 Days, the series gives a stunning window into the challenges of starting a new life abroad. The series has introduced many long-lasting couples to the franchise, some of whom have gone on to continue sharing their love story on the flagship series, 90 Day Fiancé.
Best Season(s): 3, 5
Most Iconic Couples: Big Ed & Liz, Veronica & Jamal, Colt & Vanessa
While 90 Day Fiancé is all about the couples, The Single Life shows what happens when fan-favorite cast members head back out on the market. What this series lacks in sightseeing appeal — generally, The Single Life daters stay in the U.S. — it makes up for in drama, occasionally genuine romance, and ex-filled Between the Sheets content. Plus, the series allows fans to keep rooting for their favorite franchise members who are no longer with their original partners.
Best Season(s): 1
Most Iconic Couples: Colt & Cortney, Chantel & Ashley
While Hunt for Love has only been around for one season, TLC’s answer to Love Island and Bachelor in Paradise is the perfect addition to the franchise! The series brings 90 Day Fiancé favorites and franchise newbies to a singles retreat where they attempt to find love again through a series of games, dates in paradise, relationship help, and more. As we not so patiently wait for Season 2, one thing’s for certain: With 90 Day Fiancé alums in the mix, there’s sure to be tea spilled and hearts broken, all in the name of love!
90 Day Fiancé
Best Season(s): 4, 6, 8, 11
Most Iconic Couples: Nicole & Pedro, Jorge & Anfisa, Julia & Brandon, Matt, Amani & Any
What started as a six-episode docuseries exploring the lives of four men bringing their international fiancées to the United States on the K-1 visa has become an international phenomenon. Now the series is headed into its twelfth season with over 10 major spinoffs with hundreds of couples — and one throuple — as part of the 90 Day Fiancé family. Blending culture, romance, and tons of drama, 90 Day Fiancé is the golden standard of TLC’s romance reality TV series.
Best Season(s): 4, 5, 7
Most Iconic Couples: Big Ed & Rose, Jasmine & Gino, Tim & Jeniffer, Lisa & Usman
If you thought 90 Day Fiancé‘s regular format was dramatic, try throwing airport engagements, catfishing scandals, and more into the mix! Before the 90 Days reverses the narrative, sending American citizens abroad to meet their long-distance loves for the first time IRL. While some may favor the classic, B90 stands just a notch above the standard for us. Just look at Season 8, which has already seen two engagements, a pregnancy scare, a potential divorce, and more — all while we’re still midseason!
