Fox developing dating competition Masquerade Ball

Deadline

The one-hour reality competition will give singles the opportunity to escape their regular lives and enter a period when romance was formal, dressing up was compulsory and the search for love was a serious affair, using their own wit and charm. "The centerpiece of every episode is the decadent Masquerade Ball, where our singles have just a few fleeting moments on the dance floor to impress," per Deadline. "Can they make these brief conversations count in their efforts to find the perfect partner and achieve that fairytale happy-ever-after?"
