A new group of single men are looking for love with a big city girl on Season 3 of Farmer Wants a Wife. The Fox dating competition will see four new farmers on the lookout for a woman to become their life partner.

With a new host, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, the reality TV show takes women out of their city-living comfort zones to try their hand at life on the farm, which could also see them getting a husband.

• The show first aired in the UK in 2001 and over 30 countries have their own version of the reality show.
• The US version of Farmer Wants a Wife premiered in the Spring of 2008 on The CW and was canceled after just one season.
• Fox brought the show back in March 2023, to great success.

Jennifer Nettles told Parade ahead of Season 2 of the show why it’s so different from other dating shows on TV. “I feel like they are over-dramatized for people who want 15 seconds of fame to become Instagram influencers, which is fun, but it definitely is escapism. This show is not escapism. This show is relatable because it’s authentic.”

Who Are The Four New Farmers Looking For Love?

The third season of Farmers Wants A Wife follows a new group of singletons looking for romance. These farmers will host women who are looking to get away from the stress of the big city and into their country-styled homes.

Fox promises that the third season will “dive deeper into the beauty and trials of homegrown love, and new twists will put relationships to the ultimate test.”

The reality show will see the farmers traveling to Alabama for speed dating, Tennessee for a country-themed ball, and Texas for the ultimate camping mixer. The series will also follow the women as they immerse themselves in the realities of life on the farm and see which of them has the patience required to be a farmer’s wife.

Here are the four men looking for wives in Season 3 of Farmer Wants A Wife.

John Sansone

Twenty-five-year-old John Sansone grew up learning about farm life from his grandfather on his great-grandfather’s land. According to People, he comes from a big family and wants to find someone with whom he can continue his legacy.

According to his bio, “At the end of the day, when the hard work is done, he prioritizes studying for his law degree, going on woodland drives with his grandfather, daytime fishing, and nighttime frog gigging.”

Jay Woods

Jay Woods grew up on his grandfather’s Alabama horse farm. He spent his time outside, enjoying kayaking, hunting and fishing. He originally wanted to become a professional athlete, but he injured himself playing football at Duke University.

“While Jay felt pressure playing college football, it’s nothing compared to the massive pressure his mom’s been putting on him lately asking about grandbabies,” People writes.

When it comes to a partner, Jay needs a “kind-hearted, refined, confident woman.” More importantly, she has to be comfortable spending time on the farm.

Matt Warren

Matt Warren is fairly new to farming, trading in his real estate house-flipping business for fruit farming after the tragic passing of his sister-in-law’s parents. He works in the agricultural world alongside his brother and sister-in-law, plus his nine nieces and nephews.

“Matt is looking for someone active and family-oriented who can keep up with the fun of the fruit farming lifestyle,” Country Living reports.

Colton Hendricks

Twenty-eight-year-old divorced dad, Colton Hendricks, has admitted he is having a hard time meeting someone ready to be a mother to his son. He grew up on the farm with his father, who instilled a love of family and the value of hard work.

“With his whole family close by and gorgeous property to raise his dream football team-sized family,” PEOPLE reports. “Colton is looking forward to meeting a partner who knows what they are signing up for.”

A New Host Is Joining ‘Farmer Wants A Wife’

The first two seasons of Farmer Wants A Wife were hosted by Sugarland singer Jennifer Nettles. However, Kimberly Williams-Paisley will step into the hosting duties for Season 3 of the reality show.

“I enjoyed being myself in this show, which was a new experience for me with my first unscripted series,” the Nashville actress, who is married to singer Brad Paisley, told PEOPLE.

Fox Television Network President Michael Thorn told Variety, “Given her wonderful presence as a talent and person, not to mention her unique love story, Kimberly is a perfect fit for this role and our network.”
