90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days will welcome a new line-up of couples for its fifth season, taking a deeper look at those who have found love across the globe. The series follows how they met, what their relationship is like, and documents their travels to different countries where they meet for the first time.

The series joins another much-loved spin-off 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, which has just aired.
