Synopsis
A sophisticated woman knows every man secretly wants to be Kept.
Jerry Hall is no mere bachelorette looking for random reality television love. This wealthy, self-confident jet-setting supermodel from Texas is searching for an ideal younger man to be the perfect accessory to her life of luxury.
Ms. Hall will play “Pygmalion” as she creates the model of a “kept” man suitable to a woman of her stature. The lucky paramour who ultimately fills the mould and is chosen by Jerry will be a Kept man for a year. He will enjoy the trappings of Jerry’s good life: including a six-figure allowance.
A group of 12, diverse, unformed, mounds of man-clay are shipped to London and dropped in the middle of Jerry Hall’s lush life. Jerry will run the men through the rigors of her glittering, whirlwind existence with the goal of molding the perfect kept man.
Living from London to Paris, Jerry’s bevy of A-list family and friends will be on hand each week to help her narrow the playing field from twelve to the one.
Amidst the fierce competition, viewers will have an exclusive glimpse into the inner world of the rock and the wealthy that is Jerry Hall’s life.
