Most Eligible Dallas will -- similar to Bravo's short-lived Miami Social reality series -- follow a group of successful "socialites" as they party, date and live together in Texas.
According to Bravo -- which is calling the series "jaw-dropping" -- Most Eligible Dallas' cast is "proving that everything's bigger in Texas."
Most Eligible Dallas' cast will include: Matt Nordgren, a former college football quarterback who now enjoys "playing" the dating field; Courtney Kerr, an outspoken Southern Belle who claims to have only platonic feelings for Nordgren, her best friend; Glenn Pakulak, a professional punter for the NFL's Oakland Raiders; Drew Ginsburg, a "proud gay man" who works for his family's auto dealership business; Tara Harper, a "quintessential Dallas girl" who works for her family's manufacturing company; and Neill Skylar, a singer, songwriter and new mom who had an old fling but remains friends with Nordgren.
Bravo announced Most Eligible Dallas earlier this year as part of an April announcement in which it announced the pickups of 11 new reality series.

Miami Social debuted in July 2009 and followed seven "hot, young professionals" -- including first-season The Apprentice candidate Katrina Campins and second-season Big Brother houseguest Hardy Hill -- living in Miami. Bravo did not renew the series for a second season.
Most Eligible Dallas is being produced by Pink Sneakers with Kimberly Belcher Cowin and John Ehrhard serving as executive producers.
Below are the full descriptions of Most Eligible Dallas' cast members, according to the network:
