Exclusive: The Big D, the dating competition hosted by The Bachelorette alums JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rogers, has found a new home after its surprising cancelation at TBS.
Deadline understands that USA Network is picking up the ten-part series. We’re hearing that a deal is on the verge of closing.
It comes after the entertainment format was one of the higher profile shows to be axed at the Warner Bros. Discovery-owned cable network, weeks ahead of its premiere.
The show, which comes from Lighthearted Entertainment, the company behind Are You The One? and Dating Naked, had finished production and the network was running promos ahead of its planned July 7 premiere. But it was pulled in June with the company preferring to essentially take a tax write-off rather than air it as part of broader cost-cutting measures across the David Zaslav-run company.

Designer Kevin Lee, one of Lisa Vanderpump's friends, brutally body-shamed Katie Maloney on the Feb. 5 episode of Vanderpump Rules… but luckily, Katie's castmates had her back. In fact, Lisa commended the 31-year-old's confidence, especially given the freak accident she endured eight years ago. On Nov. 9, 2009, shortly after Katie started working at Sur, she fell through a skylight at a party. The brunette beauty fell nearly three stories, smashed through a plate-glass window, and tumbled down a flight of stairs. Of course, she lived to tell the tale — which is nothing short of a miracle, if you ask us — but she suffered a broken jaw, a broken collarbone, and a minor brain injury. A post shared by Katie Maloney-Schwartz (@musickillskate) on Jan 10, 2018 at 10:19pm Pst "Everything has been put into perspective," she said during the episode. "When you cheat death, you can't help but look at things differently… I had a pretty serious accident.
