NEW YORK — FYI's new original series, "Bride & Prejudice," follows star-crossed couples as they decide to make a life-long commitment and get married in the face of staunch opposition from their friends and family. Six episodes are set to premiere on Tuesday, March 15 at 9pm ET, beginning with a two-hour season opener. The remaining hour-long episodes will premiere Tuesdays at 10pm ET and culminate with a two-hour season finale.

"Bride & Prejudice," will follow three couples as they plan their weddings, all while attempting to bring their divided loved ones together. Although several political and social strides have been made in overcoming prejudices in recent years, it's still not uncommon for people to struggle with finding acceptance from friends and family—especially when it comes to whom they choose to spend the rest of their life with.

Will a father's conservative views or a mother's inability to give up her dream of her son marrying a Jewish girl prevent them from attending their own child's wedding? No matter how tense or uncomfortable the situation may become, the couples will strive to show doubtful loved ones how differences in race, religion or sexual preference does not affect their ability to love and be loved. Bringing each other's families together may be challenging, but for the couples, approval is necessary before walking down the aisle. From engagement announcements to mere days leading up to their special day, viewers will see the difficulties each couple must deal with along the way.

The harsh reality is that these couples are uncertain if the most important day of their lives will ever come to fruition. Will the pressure of it all come crashing down and impact their upcoming nuptials? As a united front, the couples will aim to prove that despite the opinions of others, their relationship has what it takes to build the foundation for a long lasting marriage.
