Derek Kressler is one of sixteen suitors battling to win the heart of Nicole Remy on NBC The Courtship. The show is one of many reality dating series on television, including classics like the Single franchise, the island of loveand shows in the age of streaming like Love is blind and Too hot to handle.
The idea of The Courtship is to create a romantic Regency-era story for the protagonist to find love, with a castle setting and the need to win over the heroine and her court of family and friends. In a grand setting among the rolling hills of the English countryside, a group of 16 eligible suitors must fight to win her heart.

His family includes his mother, Gloria McLellan Kesseler, his father, Jack Kressler, his brother and his sister.
