TV Land Gives Go Ahead to Mature-Women Dating Series

NEW YORK, May 2: TV Land
has taken on the new elimination dating series Untitled Cougar Project, from creator Mike Fleiss, which watches eligible
young men compete for the attention of a mature older woman.

The network will produce

already under way. Untitled Cougar Project is produced by Next Entertainment in association with Warner Horizon
Television, and Mike Fleiss serves as executive producer.

"We are thrilled to

entertainment with interesting and compelling storylines—something Fleiss
has proven he can deliver to our audience."
