Finding Prince Charming is an American reality dating show that premiered on the cable network Logo on September 8, 2016. It is hosted by actor and pop singer Lance Bass. Robert Sepúlveda Jr., an interior designer based in Atlanta, was cast as a suitor for the first season.

The concept of the show was modeled after The Bachelor, but instead of having a rose ceremony, it features a black tie ceremony.{{cite web|title=The First Finding Prince Charming: Remembering Bravo's Boy Meets Boy|url=http://www.advocate.com/television/2016/9/08/first-finding-prince-charming-remembering-bravos-boy-meets-boy| first=Rick |last=Andreoli|date= September 8, 2016 |work=The Advocate | archive-date= September 20, 2016| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160920123436/http://www.advocate.com/television/2016/9/08/first-finding-prince-charming-remembering-bravos-boy-meets-boy| url-status=live}}{{cite web|title=Finding Prince Charming: US TV developing a dating reality show with a gay twist |date=13 July 2016 |publisher=The Sydney Morning Herald |archive-date=November 30, 2016 |url=https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/finding-prince-charming-us-tv-developing-a-dating-reality-show-with-a-gay-twist-20160712-gq4g53.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20161130205126/http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/finding-prince-charming-us-tv-developing-a-dating-reality-show-with-a-gay-twist-20160712-gq4g53.html |access-date=November 30, 2016 }}

Format

A cast of thirteen gay suitors will live together in one house with a Prince Charming in the search for love. Each week the Prince Charming will go on group or solo dates with different men. At the end of the episode, Prince Charming will have to eliminate contestants in a "black tie" ceremony, where black ties will be given to the guys he wants to keep and get to know more, while the guys who do not get a black tie will be eliminated. At the end of the process, Prince Charming will choose one man to try a relationship with outside of the series.
