Matt Warren joins Fox’s “Farmer Wants a Wife” in a quest for romance and rural charm
One Morro Bay farmer is looking for love and you can watch his journey unfold on television. Fox’s hit dating competition series “Farmer Wants a Wife” is back for a third season, premiering Thursday, March 20 (9 to 10 p.m. ET/PT). Hosted by actor and author Kimberly Williams-Paisley, the show follows four new rural romantics searching for love in the countryside.
As the world’s most successful dating series, “Farmer Wants a Wife” has been produced in 34 countries, leading to 226 marriages and 565 children — with more on the way. Season 2 saw love bloom for farmers Mitchell Kolinsky and Nathan Smothers, who remain happily coupled with Sydney Errera and Taylor BeDell, respectively. Now, four new farmers — Morro Bay’s own Matt Warren, along with Jay Woods, John Sansone, and Colton Hendricks — are ready to open their hearts and farms to hopeful city dwellers looking for a new kind of love story.
Warren, 30, is a first-generation avocado and exotic fruit farmer. Warren’s natural gift for fruit farming makes it look like he’s been doing it his whole life, but it wasn’t until in the last few years when his sister-in-law’s parents tragically passed away, that he traded in his real estate house-flipping hammer for a harvesting hoe. Warren dove deeply into the agriculture industry and has worked alongside his brother and sister-in-law ever since. While he enjoys the loving nickname “Uncle Matt” from his nine nieces and nephews, he’s more than ready for his own little one to call him “Dad.” Warren is looking for someone active and family-oriented who can keep up with the fun of the fruit-farming lifestyle.
Also on the show are Woods, the hometown hero who lost his football career to injury and put everything he had into rebuilding the legacy of his grandfather’s farm in Alabama; Sansone an urban cowboy and high-flying St. Louis law student who dreams of living in the tradition of his family’s farm in rural Missouri; and Colton Hendricks, a third-generation Arkansas cattle rancher, recently divorced and a single dad to his 2-year-old son, looking for a second chance at love.
Season 3 will bring new twists, deeper connections, and a fresh set of challenges for the farmers and their potential partners. This year, the journey will take contestants on romantic and eye-opening adventures, including a speed dating event in Alabama, a country ball in Tennessee, and an overnight camping mixer in Texas.
For the first time, final daters will bring their families back to the farms, giving loved ones a firsthand look at country living. As city girls adapt to the realities of farm life, only the strongest connections will stand the test of time.
Fans of “Farmer Wants a Wife” can watch anytime on Hulu, Fox.com, Tubi, and On Demand.
