Modern dating gets a dose of mama’s wisdom in OWN’s latest unscripted series, Somebody’s Son, and BOSSIP’s got the exclusive clip.
Inspired by the viral #SomebodysSon hashtag that took social media by storm, the series brings the online celebration of Black love to the screen, following three single, successful Black men as they search for their forever person. In Somebody’s Son, however, these bachelors won’t be navigating their romantic journeys alone; their mothers are coming along for the ride.
Each man is introduced to four accomplished and discerning women, all of whom have high expectations and no intention of settling for anything less than real love. As the sparks start to fly, the women are hit with a twist: not only will the men’s mothers be involved in the process, they’ll also be living in the same house throughout the experience, watching, advising, and sometimes stirring the pot.
With competitive challenges, heartfelt moments, and a few inevitable clashes, Somebody’s Son explores the age-old question: Does a mother really know best when it comes to love? As the bachelors and their moms form opinions, test connections, and navigate disagreements, the power ultimately lies in the hands of the women, who make it clear they’re not just there to be chosen, but to see if these men are truly worthy of them.
Full of emotional depth, surprising twists, and plenty of mama drama, Somebody’s Son is more than a dating show—it’s a celebration of Black love, family dynamics, and the journey to finding someone who truly fits.

Somebody’s Son Exclusive Clip
In an exclusive clip from the premiere, Josh meets a gaggle of gorgeous girls who are all vying for his affection. He announces, however, that one woman is missing: his mom, Oma.
The ladies are shocked, especially Chambriel, who’s not dressed appropriately to meet someone’s mother.
“I’m in shorts; short shorts, and I’m here dressed to meet my man, and then I’m meeting his mom. Somebody pray for me!” she says.
