The coronavirus pandemic has brought movie productions, television sets and highly-anticipated releases to a screeching halt, but one TLC show has been created as a result of it.

TLC has announced the return of a "90 Day Fiance" like viewers have never seen before. According to a press release, the franchise will premiere a new show titled "90 Day Fiance: Self-Quarantined," which will follow the lives of 40 former cast members who have appeared on various "90 Day Fiance" spinoffs as they self-quarantine inside their homes.

The series will be self-filmed by the contestants and give an inside look into the dating lives of couples and singles from past seasons.
