📅 OWN’s #Somebody’s Son: Release Date & Where to Watch

  • Premiere Date: Saturday, April 12, at 9 PM ET/PT
  • Where to Watch: OWN

OWN is bringing a fresh twist to reality dating shows with #Somebody’s Son, a series that blends romance, family, and competition.

Inspired by the viral hashtag that celebrates the search for Black love, this new OWN show follows three successful, single Black men as they embark on an emotional journey to find their perfect match.

But there’s a catch—each man’s mother (or mother figure) is along for the ride!

She’ll be offering guidance, support, and, of course, a little drama as her son searches for “the one.”

💕 What Makes #Somebody’s Son A Must-Watch?

Unlike other reality dating shows, the bachelors in #Somebody’s Son don’t have the final say—because the women they date are just as independent and successful.

Even if a man and his mom think they’ve found the right match, these women won’t settle for less!

With competitive challenges, deep conversations, and unexpected twists, this OWN reality dating show will keep you guessing—and debating whether mother really knows best.
