90 Day Fiance: The Other Way follows American citizens moving to foreign countries for the sake of love and their future spouses, and they must marry within 90 days in order to stay.
90 Day Fiance: The Other Way's second season will feature a total of six couples, including Season 1 returnees Jenny Slatten and her partner Sumit as well as Deavan Clegg and her husband Jihoon Lee.
Jenny, a 61-year-old from Palm Springs, CA, will be shown moving back to India for Sumit, a 32-year-old from India, once and for all after previously uprooting her life only to discover Sumit was married to another woman.
This time around, Sumit is promising that he will never lie again and that he and his wife are finally getting divorced, leaving Jenny with hope and optimism.
Deavan, a 23-year-old from Salt Lake City, UT, is officially moving to South Korea along with her two children to start a life with Jihoon, a 29-year-old from South Korea.
"Upon arrival however, it is very evident that Jihoon and Deavan have several cultural obstacles that they need to overcome, in addition to their language barrier," according to TLC.
The four new couples starring on Season 2 of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way are Brittany, a 26-year-old from Palm Beach, FL, and Yazan, a 24-year-old from Jordan; Kenneth, a 57-year-old from St. Petersburg, FL, and Armando, a 31-year-old from Mexico; Ariela, a 28-year-old from Princeton, NJ, and Biniyam, a 29-year-old from Ethiopia; and Tim, a 34-year-old from Dallas, TX, and Melyza, a 29-year-old from Colombia.

Brittany and Yazan fell in love at first sight after meeting over video chat through Yazan's sister. Now, Brittany -- who is keeping a huge secret -- is moving to Jordan, but Yazan is a devout Muslim and Brittany believes she is too independent for religion, so she has no plans to convert to Islam.
"Her provocative nature may not be accepted by Yazan's conservative family," according to TLC, and Yazan's family won't let them move in together until they're married."

"But Armando's family is not accepting of his sexuality and because of this, he has yet to tell them about Kenneth," the network teased.
Ariela, a recent divorcee, met Biniyam in Ethiopia, and during her couple-month stay, she got pregnant. Ariela therefore decided to eventually move back to Ethiopia for the birth of their baby, but she struggles to accept the living conditions and healthcare system.
Melyza from Colombia was working as an au pair in Texas and planned to leave town in a few days, but she connected with Tim at a bar before she left, and so the pair decided to date long distance with the plan of Melyza eventually moving to Texas.

"However, Tim did something to lose Melyza's trust, so to prove his love for her, Tim is now moving to Colombia. Melyza's mother also doesn't trust Tim and thinks he has a lot to prove," TLC revealed.
After arriving in their new countries, the six American cast members will be shown racing a ticking clock and experiencing major culture shocks and challenges -- including winning over their soon-to-be foreign in-laws and trying to plan their weddings.
Based on the new Season 2 preview trailer for 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way that was released by TLC, there will be plenty of drama -- including Deavan accusing Jihoon of not financially supporting their family as he struggles with jealousy issues, and Jenny demanding to see paperwork that would prove Sumit was filing for divorce from his wife.
