As one reality show ends, another one continues.
Just when you think Peacock would take a break after their annual viewership reign with Love Island, they end up being one step ahead. If you’re not aware, Season 20 of Married at First Sight is currently underway, and audiences already need more!
In the most obvious form of finding your true love, 14 contestants will meet for the very first time at the altar, being split into seven couples, and willingly spend the remainder of the show as a married couple. At the end of the series, the couple will make the decision to either continue their lives as newlyweds or divorce after a few short weeks.
If that hasn’t convinced you to watch the juicy reality show, you must not be a champion of good, old-fashioned romance. What other way is there to meet your soulmate than on TV? Nonetheless, reality TV lovers can celebrate by watching all the drama unfold, since the first six episodes of the latest Married at First Sight season are currently out.
To stay on top of the new season, here’s everything you need to know about the release schedule of the new installment of Married at First Sight.
When Do New Episodes of Married at First Sight Come Out?
The first episode of the newest season of Married at First Sight premiered on July 12. The following two were released a few days later on July 16. Starting today, Peacock will release three episodes of Married at First Sight every Thursday, until the series finale and reunion are released on Aug. 27.
How Many Episodes of Married at First Sight Season 20 Are On Peacock?
Currently, there are six episodes of Married at First Sight Season 20 streaming on Peacock. In honor of the show’s longevity, it’s only fitting that there will be 20 episodes in total for the 20th season. Previous seasons have differed in their episode count. Last season consisted of only 14 episodes, while many of the earlier installments had more than 20 episodes in a season.
Where does Married at First Sight Season 20 take place?
Each season of Married at First Sight takes place in a different U.S. city. Season 20 will take place in Seattle. Chris Coelen, the series’ executive producer, revealed to The Seattle Times that they chose the city for this season because “its people come from a wide variety of backgrounds and life experiences making for a really interesting pool of singles.”
Coelen went on to detail how the city reacted to filming.
“The local businesses and community were incredibly welcoming, and we even filmed aboard a ferry to capture one groom’s everyday commute,” he told the outlet.
