This isn't the first time KFC has made the colonel the object of someone's affection.

In 2017, the fast-food chain announced a romance novel called "Tender Wings of Love" in which the Colonel falls in love with a woman who doesn't want to marry a rich duke. And last year, KFC released a simulation game called "I Love You Colonel Sanders: A Finger Licking Good Dating Simulator" in which the end goal was to date Colonel Sanders.

"A Recipe for Seduction" premieres on December 13 at 12 p.m. Eastern on Lifetime. It will also be available to stream on Lifetime's website, Lifetime apps, and other video-on-demand platforms.
