In April 2019, TLC announced to excited fans that The Family Chantel was imminent. A formal statement by network executives disclosed,  "This is an awesome moment for TLC, as we create a family show based on one of our most popular 90 Day couples" (via Discovery). TLC president and general manager Howard Lee continued, "Our fans can't get enough of Pedro, Chantel and their larger-than-life families. For a brand known as the destination for love, relationships and family shows, The Family Chantel hits the bullseye." It was clear from the network's statement why Pedro and Chantel had been chosen amongst the plethora of other couples. 

As TLC noted, "Pedro and Chantel have weathered major marital ups and downs involving everything from feisty family members to their own trust issues." The fan favorite duo previously appeared on another spin-off, 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After, where their entertaining familial issues continued apace. According to People, during one particularly explosive fight, "lamps were punched, shirts were torn, [and] weaves were ripped out." As TLC promised, with The Family Chantel, "Viewers will follow this unique modern family as they try to move past their differences and come together."
