Married at First Sight is walking down the aisle to Peacock.
The reality series has been scooped up from Lifetime by the NBCU streaming platform, per a Jan. 31 Peacock press release. This marks the program’s departure from A&E Network channels; the show debuted on FYI in 2014 before simultaneously being aired on both FYI and A&E starting in its sophomore season. The series moved to Lifetime in 2017 for its fifth season, and had remained there until this latest move.
According to the press release, Season 19 of the series will hit the streamer this year. Meanwhile, Season 18 is currently airing on Lifetime. As noted by the streamer, 30 iterations of the show exist across the world.
Among the spin-offs that this series spawned are Married at First Sight: The First Year, Married Life, Married at First Sight: Second Chances, Jamie and Doug Plus One, Married at First Sight: Honeymoon Island, Married at First Sight: Happily Ever After, Married at First Sight: Couples Cam, and Married at First Sight: Unmatchables, per Deadline.
Produced by Kinetic Content, Married at First Sight features single individuals looking for love, who tie the knot with someone on the first day that they meet each other.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the deal involves a multi-season order, while Variety reports the deal entailing three seasons — 19, 20, and 21 — at Peacock.
