OWN's ‘Somebody’s Son’ Turns to Moms to Help Their Sons Find Love

OWN has a new dating series called Somebody’s Son — and it’s all about turning to family for help in the search for love.

Inspired by the viral hashtag #SomebodysSon, the series premieres April 12 and will follow three eligible bachelors as they navigate the dating scene.

Each bachelor will be matched with four potential partners, but there’s a hitch — the men’s mothers are joining them on the journey and the moms will play a “pivotal” role in the dating process.

According to the show’s official description: “The ladies are eager to meet their potential match but will be shocked when they discover that the mothers will not only be guiding their sons through the entire experience, they’ll also be living under the same roof with their sons and the daters.”

Somebody’s Son premieres on Saturday, April 12, at 9/8c, on OWN.

Below is the trailer for the series and details on the cast:

James, a 29-year-old cyber security engineer, and his mother Charlease, a founder/managing partner, desire a traditional relationship. James’ potential matches include Bre’Von, an HR manager; Chisom, an IT consultant; Sabranae, a property manager; and Alyssia, a digital marketing coordinator.

Chadd, a 30-year-old SEC financial reporting analyst, and his mother Katina, a cosmetologist and minister, seek a woman of faith ready to start a family. Chadd’s potential matches include Miranda, a corporate HR professional; Loren, a hair stylist and salon owner; Jasmine, an esthetician; and Paige, a business analyst and sports broadcaster.

Joshua, a 28-year-old NFL Free Agent, and his aunt Oma, a nurse who has been Josh’s primary mother figure in life, look for a chill and ambitious partner. Joshua’s potential matches are Lexi, a tech marketing manager; Martha, a nurse; Chambriel, a mortgage broker; and Tamerras, a news producer.
