Warner Bros. Discovery announces '90 Day Fiancé' Universe like the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Here's what that means.

• Warner Bros. Discovery announced its "90 Day Fiancé" Universe on Thursday.
• Many fans were confused about how the reality show could spawn a universe like Marvel and DC.

Warner Bros. Discovery announced Thursday that a "90 Day Fiancé" Universe is among its key franchises, which led to some head-scratching on Twitter.

The company shared its new strategy during its Q2 earnings call on Thursday, its first quarter as a company after WarnerMedia and Discovery completed their merger earlier this year.

During the call, they highlighted the "90 Day Fiancé" Universe to the surprise of pundits and fans, considering the term is normally reserved for fictional cinematic franchises such as Marvel and DC.

"90 Day Fiance," which debuted on TLC in 2014, follows several couples who have to get married 90 days after applying for or receiving a K-1 visa. The specific visa allows foreign fiancés of U.S. citizens to stay in the US.

The main series is currently in its ninth season but has spawned multiple spinoffs following popular couples such as Big Ed and Liz and David Toborowsky and Annie Suwan.

Here is what the "90 Day Fiancé" Universe entails.

The reality series has 18 spinoffs, all of which are currently on Discovery+

Although "90 Days Fiancé" originally premiered on TLC, Discovery+ hosts the original show on its platform, as well as 18 spinoffs.

There are spinoffs following couples before and after their marriage such as "Before the 90 Days," and "Happily Ever After." There are cooking and game show spinoffs, including "90 Day: Foodie Call" and "90 Days Fiancé: Love Games." There's also a Discovery+ exclusive talk show about the reality series, "90 Day Bares All," that shares unseen footage and interviews with the cast. Some of the most popular couples have even got their own reality series, such as "The Family Chantel."

During the earnings call, Warner Bros. Discovery also announced that HBO Max and Discovery+ will merge into one platform next year, so look for the "90 Day Fiancé" Universe to sit alongside DC, "Game of Thrones" and more.
