NBC is premiering a new reality dating show, 'The Courtship,' which combines the themes of the popular shows 'Bridgerton' and 'The Bachelorette.'

Those looking for a show with a twist and a mix of classic old love and modern dating will enjoy 'The Courtship.' Our heroine is Nicole Remy, a software engineer from Seattle, WA, who is bored of swiping right to meet Mr Right. As a result, NBC transported her to a Regency-era castle in England, where 16 men dressed in Regency clothing compete for her attention - a journey across time in search of love. Our heroine and her suitors will find out in the end if the ultimate romantic encounter will lead to real love.

If you enjoy the romance and chaos that comes with reality dating shows, then you might want to check out 'Married at First Sight', 'The Bachelor' and '90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days'
