BET’s ‘After Happily Ever After’ is a dating reality series that involves exes from a divorce or separation as their former partners’ wingmen/wingwomen to help them move on and find love again. Hosted by the famous rapper Bow Wow, it stands out from other shows that follow similar formats. In the BET show, the host throws a singles party with a group of prospects for the candidates. To add to the uniqueness and twist of the show, these parties are only attended by their ex-partners as they determine the best match for their former better halves.
After a match is selected, the chosen prospect moves into the house to spend 48 hours with their former spouse or partner. After two days of getting to know each other, the candidate decides if they want to keep dating the prospect or have another chance at meeting someone new. While the unique premise of the series and the drama keep the viewers invested, the picturesque and luxurious house in the backdrop makes them wonder where ‘After Happily Ever After’ is shot.
