Second Marriage at First Sight confirmed

Married at First Sight has been hugely popular worldwide for quite some time. And after the show is over, fans always want to keep up-to-date with their favourite stars. Now, they have the perfect way to stay involved – watch them marry a stranger (again).

The brand-new experiment will see eight legendary MAFS cast members return with the hopes of finding love again. And this time will have to consider the possibility of moving to the other side of the world to keep it.

It’s believed the show will begin in the UK, before they jet over to Australia to meet their family and friends. But when they get there, they have a big decision to make – will they uproot their life for love?

With the stakes already high, it sounds like it’s going to be a very wild show. And we can not wait!

Channel 4 speaks out about news

Steve Handley, Head of Reality Entertainment at Channel 4 revealed: “These eight well-loved MAFS singles didn’t find lasting love the first time. But they haven’t given up – and neither have we.

“Everyone deserves a second chance at love and this time they are saying ‘I do’ to a stranger on the other side of the world, risking absolutely everything for another shot at getting it right. I think it will be our greatest love story yet.”

CEO Murray Boland from CPL productions added: “We are so looking forward to this. Research shows people in Australia have more successful and enduring relationships with Britons than any other nationality, so we are genuinely hopeful that our brave singles can finally find the love they have been looking for.”

The news was also revealed on Instagram, and fans immediately shared their excitement. One wrote: “This is huge! I am so excited.”

Another added: “I need to know when and I need it now! This is going to be iconic.”

“This will be amazing. The current format is getting stale so I am glad they are mixing the two countries. Going to be interesting indeed,” a third penned.

While a release date has not been revealed, we can’t wait to see which of the iconic stars are heading back. Bring it on!
