Married at First Sight fans have been saying for years that something needs to change with the show to keep it fresh, and to keep it from growing more stale with each new season. Based on the most recent updates making the rounds, it looks like the popular dating show will undergo a major shakeup next season. So, what do we know about this so far?
Married At First Sight: Fans Have Gotten Tired Of Same Old Formula
Even though Married at First Sight is still one of the most popular dating shows around, fans of the program have become considerably less interested in it as the years have gone by. The way that many fans see it, there are a lot of things wrong with the show that should be fixed.
One of the common complaints that a lot of viewers have is that the show has stepped away from the original formula that made it successful. Instead of focusing on fewer couples, and one season per year, there are now more couples, and an average of two seasons a year.
The way fans see it, Lifetime chose quantity over quality, and this has hurt the quality of the show overall, and has not been fair to all of the marriage hopefuls who are genuinely looking for love on the show.
Major Change Coming To MAFS, What Do We Know So Far?
According to Deadline, Married at First Sight will be moving from Lifetime to Peacock next season, huge news for the future of the popular matchmaking show. The head of Kinetic Content, Chris Coelen, was looking for a deal that guaranteed multiple seasons of the show. While that does not appear to be finalized at this time, the reported deal is worth “north of $50M.”
This new deal with Peacock is a major one for the streaming service, especially as it tries to compete with other streaming services that have similar shows in the same reality dating space. There is also hope that this new acquisition will breathe new life into the program, which is currently airing Season 18 on Lifetime.
When Will Married At First Sight Season 19 Come To Peacock?
One of the big questions that Married at First Sight fans want answered in light of this latest acquisition is, when will a new season of the popular show officially be streaming on Peacock? It turns out, fans can expect Season 19 to be on the streaming service as early as this year. So, viewers are going to want to keep an eye out for that.
- Based on initial Married at First Sight fan reactions, they are generally positive, with one commenter writing: “Looks like I’ll be watching MAFS again in the future.”
- Another commenter said: “Am I the only one shocked how much this went for? I felt like this show is really going down hill. I say this as a fan who can’t stop watching though.”
What do you think of Peacock acquiring MAFS?
