What's better than one bachelor looking for love? Why three, of course!

That's the concept of Ready for Love, NBC's new dating series executive produced by Eva Longoria and hosted by E! News anchor Giuliana Rancic and her husband Bill. But don't expect to see any roses handed out: As this exclusive first look reveals, "we're gonna start with a relationship show," says Longoria, "and turn it on its head."

Here's how: Under the watchful supervision of three experienced matchmakers, 36 single women will vie for the affections of three guys—relatively chaste rocker Tim Lopez, a member of the band Plain White T's; Ben, a cowboy boot-wearing Texan with an enviable six-pack; and Miami hottie Ernesto, who, at age 33, swears he's never been in love. The result? "It's the most authentic love story ever to unfold on television," promises Longoria.

Watch the clip below, then hit the comments to let us know if you think you'll be falling for Ready for Love.

The series' two-hour premiere airs Sunday, March 31, at 8 p.m. on NBC.

(E! and NBC are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)
