The Family Chantel concluded in 2023, but there are still ways the network can bring it back and make it more interesting. The spin-off show first premiered in 2019, but its main premise dates back to 2015 when Chantel Everett and Pedro Jimeno debuted in 90 Day Fiancé season 4. The American woman and the Dominican man met through a mutual friend with the intention of teaching each other their respective native languages, but ended up falling in love instead. Chantel and Pedro spent some time together in the Dominican Republic, and they felt complete and decided to marry.
Chantel filed for Pedro’s K-1 visa before filming 90 Day Fiancé season 4. She didn’t inform her family about her intentions and misled them about the reason for Pedro’s arrival in the United States. Eventually, Chantel had a discussion with her parents, Karen and Thomas Everett, about her plans to marry Pedro. Eventually, her parents gave their blessing. Chantel and Pedro tied the knot in 90 Day Fiancé season 4 and appeared ready to begin their life together. They later documented their journey in spin-off shows such as 90 Day Fiancé: Self-Quarantined and 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?
