'The Next Joe Millioniare' premiere tanks in the ratings, places fifth in timeslot October 21, 2003 It appears that just as with Temptation Island 2, a second trip back to the Joe Millionaire well might have been one trip too many for both FOX and the Rocket Science production company that produced both series.

FOX announces full 'Joe Millionaire 2' airing schedule, including twice weekly episodes leading up to finale September 4, 2003 As public speculation runs rampant about the premise of the second season of "Joe Millionaire," FOX has announced some additional details about the program's broadcast schedule, and to no one's surprise, it appears the network is planning to milk the hit series for all it can. Hopefully things will work out better for the network the last time they tried this with the sequel to the (at the time) smash hit "Temptation Island" series -- which subsequently bombed during it's significantly extended twelve episode run.
'Joe Millionaire 2' to premiere on October 20 on FOX July 25, 2003 Fox may be keeping the plot twist and other details of Joe Millionaire 2 secret, but at least we now know when the secret will begin to be revealed.

Instead, a different gimmick has been developed.
Say it ain't so, Joe -- 'Millionaire' sequel in the works February 19, 2003 Reuters reports that Joe Millionaire might not be a one-shot deal after all. The chairman of Fox Television stated that Fox "was close to figuring out a way to do a sequel next season."
