Fox Nation sends cease and desist over ‘Chris Harrison’s The Vow’
The new Fox Nation dating series “Chris Harrison’s The Vow” is already realizing that some roses have thorns. The series is set to premiere on Fox Nation in November, but the owners of the famed reality show “The Bachelor” are aiming to force some major changes.
As reported by Deadline on Thursday, Warner Bros. Entertainment has sent a cease-and-desist letter to Fox Nation, claiming that the teaser for “The Vow” contains unauthorized uses of the studio’s own intellectual property, among other objections.

‘KPop Demon Hunters 2’ aims for wide theatrical release
