Release date 

'Family or Fiancé' Season 3 returns to OWN on July 11 with new episodes premiering every Saturday. 

Plot 

The official premise of the show reads, "Family or Fiancé follows the dynamic between eight engaged couples who bring their disapproving families together for three days under one roof, some for the first time. The clock is ticking as the couples must decide if they're going to tie the knot or if the nuptial hopes end there. It's a no-holds-barred look at what it's really like when the people closest to you have major issues with the one you want to marry.

"At the heart of the series is relationship expert Tracy McMillan, who serves as the voice of reason as the couples confront their family's concerns. She works with the newlyweds-to-be on ways to strengthen their bond, unpacks their differences and reveals their true selves to their families--for better or worse. At the end of the final day, families are given the chance to speak now or forever hold their peace leaving each couple to decide once and for all if they're truly ready to say, 'I Do'."
