Comparing the US show to the UK
Married at First Sight is also on British and Australian airwaves.
The concepts are the same but the UK version differs slightly from the US.
In the UK, the cast is larger and instead of recruiting from the same city, members from all over the country participate in the show.
The UK also skips preliminary episodes following the contestants’ reactions to being on the show and begins the season with the wedding.
The UK also includes LGBTQ+ couples and participants who have been married before or have children, unlike in the US.
MaFS origins in the US
Married at First Sight first premiered on July 8, 2014.
It has since had 16 seasons.
The program featured three couples for the first seven seasons, MaFS has had four or more couples since season eight.
The show follows six or more people who simultaneously meet and walk down the aisle.
By the end of each season, the cast members are tasked with deciding to stay together or divorce.
