In addition to the impending nuptials, the upcoming season will see individuals with Down syndrome pursuing driver’s licenses, independent living and entrepreneurship while other romances blossom as well, the network said.
The show, which is produced by the people behind reality television stalwarts like “The Real World” and “Keeping up with the Kardashians,” won an Emmy in 2016 for Outstanding Unstructured Reality Series and received the 2018 Critics’ Choice Award for Best Unstructured Reality Series.
Two episodes of “Born This Way” will air back-to-back on four consecutive Wednesdays starting at 8 p.m. ET.
