(Newser) – A series following arranged marriages is CBS’ next big reality-TV venture, James Hibberd writes on his Hollywood Reporter blog. The show, from the producers behind Project Runway and Top Chef, will follow four unlucky-in-love singles whose friends and family select a spouse; cameras will then continue to follow the couples after the wedding.
