There is already A LOT of buzz about TLC’s newest reality series Milf Manor, which may or may not have been inspired by Jack Donaghy’s Milf Island from an episode of the NBC sitcom 30 Rock almost 15 years ago.
In case you missed the initial announcement in December, here is the network’s press release and the Milf Manor preview trailer:
From cities all across the country, eight confident and strong-minded women leave home for the chance to find love at a paradise destination in TLC’s brand-new, love and relationship dating series, MILF MANOR. Although they may be a few years older than the average dating show contestant, these women are not out of practice. Ranging from 40 to 60 years young, this vibrant group brings their unique life experiences to the game. They have decades of dating experience and will use it to find a lasting connection with men half their age. However, nothing can prepare them for a jaw dropping surprise that will greet them at the front door. MILF MANOR premieres on Sunday, January 15th at 10PM ET/PT on TLC and is available to stream the same day on discovery+.
Set in an exquisite location along the beautiful beaches of Mexico, not everything is fun and games as these women get serious. Tensions run high when eight women and eight young hunks come together to find love. The women include a competitive 47-year-old fitness studio owner from Mexico currently living in Miami, a spontaneous 50-year-old “disco mommy” from Orange County, a 44-year-old Jersey girl currently living in Los Angeles, a 59-year-old fitness instructor and singer from Los Angeles and a 50-year-old event planner who used to be the B-Girl back in the day, just to name a few. Each episode features challenges that will prove whether a connection is genuine or if it’s time to leave the manor. Will the young gentlemen be able to win over the MILFs with their charming good looks or will their behavior prove them under-experienced and land them on the chopping block? Chemistry, jealousy and top-notch drama keep it steamy in the manor.
Milf Manor Cast Full Names, Photos, Instagram Links
To help viewers keep up with all the inevitable Cougarpalooza drama on Milf Manor, we’ve put together information on all eight ladies from Season 1. The information includes names, ages, photos and brief bios for each. We’ve also started compiling last names and Instagram links and will continue to update this post as we find out more!
I did want to note that April (not April Jayne) was left off the official cast photo that was used at the top of this post. April also did not have an official cast photo, merely a screen shot from the trailer. I do not know if this is some sort of spoiler indicating that April left the Manor early, or perhaps she was simply unable to attend the photo shoot?
Speaking of April, we will go through the cast profiles alphabetically, starting with her!
