The opening episode of the hit series will see 18 new singles come together for a Stag and Hen night, before heading off to strut down the aisle in the hope of finding true love.
Despite the show's name, the couples aren't actually legally married initially, it's actually a commitment ceremony. At the end of the series, they have the option to consider making things legally binding.
This adjustment to the original format proved such a hit that the UK version of the show also made the move.

Are any Married at First Sight Australia Season 6 couples still together?
Married at First Sight Australia season 6 provided more ups and downs than you could shake a stick at. There was love, lust, partner swapping, and even an affair.
Despite the emotional rollercoaster on the show, two couples managed to make it and are still going strong!
Unsurprisingly, Cam and Jules are still super loved up. Married At First Sight's Cam and Jules revealed they 'didn't find each other attractive' initially, but that changed pretty quickly.
The couple are crazy about each other and since the show ended they got legally married and had welcomed a new family member too.
Their little boy, Oliver Chase, was born in September 2020 and it looks like that's only the beginning. The loved-up couple spoke to Who and when asked if they were open to any more children Jules said, "Absolutely—give us 18 months!"
They're not the only pair going strong as Michael and Martha, the unexpected success story, are still together too.
Make up artist Martha and PE teacher Michael were an unexpected success story and they're busy sharing their lives together and with the world as social media influencers.
Although their relationship is going strong, they haven't made things legally binding.
