DESCRIPTION: (from Paramount Network's press release, September 2019) Wife Swap, one of the most provocative, successful and talked-about social experiments of the reality TV era, is being renewed for a new season on Paramount Network with 20 new episodes. Wife Swap, a Banijay Group format, is produced by Banijay Studios North America. Season one of Wife Swap on Paramount Network delivered major ratings increases in key demos. Compared to the same time from the previous year on Paramount Network, Wife Swap was up +77% with P18-49 (0.35 rating), up +96% with W18-49 (0.44 rating) and up +75% with total viewers (491K total viewers). "Wife Swap is an iconic international hit that we knew would resonate with our Paramount Network audience," says Keith Cox, President of Development for Paramount Network and TV Land. "Season one told entertaining and compelling stories of great families that were dramatic and at times pleasantly comedic. We'll explore even more diverse families and their fascinating stories for season two." During each swap, the new spouses must at first adhere to exactly the same rules and lifestyle of the spouses being replaced - including homes, child-rearing, chores, hobbies, lifestyles and careers, before introducing their own ideas and beliefs into their new households. At the end, both couples meet face-to-face and discuss what they learned from the swap and how their new experiences will shape their lives, habits and homes in the future. Executive producers include Banijay Studios North America's David Goldberg, Ted Iredell; Perry Dance and John Platt.
