"Married at First Sight"
10 one-hour episodes and a one-hour casting special / Premieres Tuesday, July 8 at 9pm ET
Based on the hit Danish format, "Married at First Sight" is an extreme social experiment following six brave souls who are yearning for a life-long partnership as they agree to a provocative proposal: getting legally Married the moment they first meet. Four specialists - sexologist, Dr. Logan Levkoff; spiritualist, Greg Epstein; psychologist, Dr. Joseph Cilona; and sociologist, Dr. Pepper Schwartz - will create what they believe are three perfect couples, based on scientific matchmaking. The couples will never meet or know each other until they walk down the aisle and see each other face to face, for the first time, when they get married. Each episode of "Married at First Sight" will follow the classic lifestyle stories of newlyweds - from the honeymoon to early nesting to other relatable events of Married life. After several weeks together, each couple must make a decision: do they remain together or decide to separate? Produced for FYI by Kinetic Content.
