Watch out, Cressida Bonas!

Fact: I Wanna Marry Harry is going to be the summer TV season's most-talked about new show. How do we know this? Well, just listen to the premise: 12 women compete for Prince Harry's love. The catch? It's not Prince Harry! Matthew Hicks, a normal English bloke, is pretending to be Prince William's red-headed brother. Cruel? Maybe. Entertaining? Hell yes.

Fox released the first promo for the new reality dating competition during American Idol's Wednesday night show and after watching the 30-second teaser, we're RSVPing yes to this royal hot mess when it premieres on Tuesday, May 27.

Judging from the promo, it seems like none of the ladies catch onto the royal hoax, taking the competition for Faux-Harry's love very seriously. "I really hope I have what it takes to pull it off," Hicks says in the first look at I Wanna Marry Harry, which comes from the team behind Joe Millionaire. (Not surprising at all!)

And one contestant seems to have a bit of a Harry fetish, saying, "Prince Harry, Harry Potter...I don't care!"

I Wanna Marry Harry premieres Tuesday, May 27 on Fox.
