FYI scheduled Married at First Sight season 4 premiere date

This article has the most up-to-date info on the status of Married at First Sight season 4 as we continuously monitor the news to keep you in the know. FYI has scheduled the premiere date for a new season for July 26, 2016.

Show background and concept

On December 1, 2015 a third set of three couples entered the experiment that lives by the rules of Married at First Sight, as the third season of the series aired on FYI and A&E simultaneously. The series follows the format of a Danish show with the same concept, and has been very popular internationally.

The premise is that complete strangers matched by professionals of various kinds (a sexologist, a psychologist, a sociologist and a spiritual advisor) agree to “blind marriage”. After a month of married life they decide whether they want to stay married or get divorced. As the last still married pair of the six couples from the first two seasons is finally getting a divorce, three more pairs of soon-to-be newlyweds are marching onto the stage with an optimistic outlook. The second season was set in New York, and this time all the singles hail from the Atlanta area.

Reviews and renewal prospects

Married at First Sight is entertaining to an extent – to the same extent as looking into a peephole is. There is a difference, of course, in that the people on the show obviously wanted this exposure to the public eye and are doing it of their own free will and in their right mind… but are they? Obviously, there are all kinds of entertainment available, and apparently this popular series has found a curious audience that is willing to follow its somewhat unnatural concept. The numbers are good, with an average of over 1.3 million viewers for the latest episodes, and it seems like we`ll be seeing more of these forced attempts to find love. Who knows, statistically speaking, it should work for someone at some point.
