Out with the heart-shaped jewelry and in with the handwritten love letters.
Nothing screams "romance" more than 16 eligible bachelors dueling for one woman's heart! NBC's new fantasy dating series, The Courtship, premieres March 6. And now, in an E! exclusive first look on Valentine's Day, we get to meet the suitors that will be vying for Nicole Remy's heart.
Hosted by Rick Edwards, the series follows Nicole, a modern girl tired of modern dating, who is transported back to Regency-era England in the hope of finding love. "In a grand 19th century castle set among the rolling hills of the English countryside, a group of 16 eligible suitors must battle to win her heart," according to the series description.
And from carriage rides and masquerade balls to archery and fencing, this show sounds like something out of the Regency-era fan fiction of our dreams! In order to win Nicole's heart, the pursuers will say goodbye to modern-day sensibilities and swap them for grand-courting gestures of the past.
But Nicole isn't the only one that has to be impressed. Once the suitors arrive, they discover that they must also get the seal of approval from her trusted Court: her father, Claude; her mother, Claire; her sister, Danielle; and best friend, Tessa. No pressure or anything, guys!
Each week, after going on dates chosen by The Court, Nicole hosts a weekly farewell ball, and a carriage awaits to return suitors back to the modern world.
Scroll to meet the 16 suitors before The Courtship premieres March 6 on NBC.
Jesse (left) and Tim (right) shocked everyone when they entered the competition during episode 3's big twist. Now, they will be competing with the remaining suitors for Lady Nicole's heart.

Christian grew up in a very strict household and didn't start dating until his 20's. He had a pretty unconventional upbringing moving from Indiana to Brazil and eventually to Los Angeles. While his dating history may be shorter than some, he is extremely worldly, speaks Portuguese fluently and is extremely impassioned about fighting for human rights. His dream date is a surprise road trip to Joshua Tree, complete with a picnic and watching the sunset with someone who possesses an honest heart, sense of humor and hunger for living life. Christian always jokes that he was born in the wrong era, so he's more than ready to put on the knight's suit and fight for his love.
