Married at First Sight is an Australian reality television series based on the Danish program of the same name and screens on the Nine Network. The show features four couples, matched by three experts, who agree to marry when they first meet. However, unlike other versions of the show around the world, the couples do not partake in a legally binding marriage due to legal restrictions, but instead meet as strangers at the altar of a commitment ceremony. The couples spend their wedding night in a hotel, then leave for a honeymoon. Upon returning they live together for a month, whereafter they choose whether they will continue their relationship. The series premiered at 8:40pm on 18 May 2015 on the Nine Network.
The Nine Network renewed the series for a second season on 19 May 2015. Season two aired at 7:30 pm on 4 April 2016. The third season premiered at 8:40 pm on 29 August 2016. The fourth season premiered on Monday 30 January 2017.
