Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in Romance
Fox Nation released the first trailer for The Vow, a dating show hosted by Chris Harrison in which Jace Cates, age 30, dates ten women seeking lasting commitment. Warner Bros. has claimed the show infringes its copyright and trademarks for The Bachelor.
Why it matters
The launch places a new dating competition on a streaming platform while a dispute over intellectual property with Warner Bros. remains open. The outcome could affect how similar romance formats are developed and distributed.
The series is a six-part show with ten women competing for one bachelor, premiering November 11 on Fox Nation. The extraction does not report how the copyright and trademark dispute will be resolved.

Timeline
Earlier this year: Deadline first revealed The Vow dating show.
A few weeks before the trailer release: Warner Bros. claimed the show infringes its copyright and trademarks.
November 5, 2026: Fox Nation released the first trailer.
November 11, 2026: The six-part series premieres.
Culture Shift
The Vow arrives as streaming platforms increasingly commission romantic competition formats that echo established franchises like The Bachelor, which Warner Bros. now contests as infringing its copyrights and trademarks. The dispute tests how far a derivative dating format can go before it crosses into protected intellectual property.
Viewers can watch the six-part series on Fox Nation starting November 11. Fox Entertainment Global's international distribution of the show as finished tape and format may later make it available beyond the United States.
The takeaway
Dating formats built on familiar franchises can face legal challenges over the intellectual property they draw on. Readers following the show should watch for how the Warner Bros. claim is resolved as the series premieres.
What happens next
The six-part series premieres on November 11, 2026, on Fox Nation.
