“As we enter READY TO LOVE’s milestone 10th season and celebrate it as the longest-running dating series on OWN, we owe this remarkable achievement to our loyal fan base, whose unwavering support has made this journey possible. It’s an honor that OWN remains a welcoming home and premier destination for celebrating the journey and beauty of love and relationships,” said Tina Perry, President, OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network. “We are proud to work alongside the creative genius of Will Packer, who skillfully operates behind the scenes, and the king of curveballs, Tommy Miles, who keeps the cast on their toes and energized in front of the cameras.”

“READY TO LOVE reigns as my longest-running television series, and with 7 successful relationships over the course of 10 seasons, with a few babies and “I Dos” sprinkled along the way, we are the most successful Black dating experience in all of television,” said producer Will Packer. “We have found an audience at OWN dedicated to watching love connections form in an authentic way that both singles and couples can relate to as they follow along the journey week after week. Sometimes with sadness, sometimes with joy – but always with heart.”

“This season, we’re on a mission to find singles in Philadelphia who are serious candidates for meaningful, real connections that are both healthy and productive – in leading to love and happiness,” said host, actor and comedian, Thomas “Nephew Tommy” Miles. “Watching these singles turn the City of Brotherly Love into the city of romantic love is one of the best joys I can imagine. I have hosted this series for 10 seasons and this upcoming season promises some very special moments as we discover who is truly ready to love.”
