"Seducing Cindy is Fox Reality Channel's first original dating series and will take viewers on the unique, emotional and potentially intimidating journey of finding love over 40," said network executive Noel Siegel.
"Millions of men have downloaded Cindy Margolis photos, but we are giving a handful of them the rare opportunity to make a real connection and win her heart."
Seducing Cindy will begin with Margolis -- who was recognized as the Internet's most-downloaded woman by the "Guinness Book of World Records" in 2000 -- as she is introduced to 24 suitors ranging in age from 18- to 71-years-old.
Each one-hour episode will follow the suitors as they are put through a series of challenges designed to test their affection for Margolis with the hopes of receiving a garter belt off her leg at the subsequent elimination ceremonies and thus avoiding elimination.
"My fans have been incredibly loyal and supportive over the years, so I am taking the leap of faith that one of them could be the love of my life," said Margolis, a single mother of three. "I am ready to be swept off my feet."
Fox Reality Channel began developing Seducing Cindy in April under the working title The Cindy Margolis Dating Project. The eight-episode series is produced by Glassman Media.
"Cindy came to us and said she was at a crossroads in her life, was ready to fall in love again, but had forgotten the rules' of dating and wanted to try something extreme," said executive producer Andrew Glassman.
"She got that and much more -- her fans and longtime admirers arrived prepared to do anything imaginable, and fight with all their will, for the dream chance of Seducing Cindy."
Fox Cable Networks announced in October that Fox Reality Channel -- which launched in 2005 and is currently available in nearly 50 million homes -- will cease operations on March 31 and relaunch as Nat Geo Wild, a Fox Cable and the National Geographic Channel collaboration that will focus on natural history and wildlife.
