The curtain has closed on Season 19 of Married at First Sight!
On November 20, audiences discovered which of the five couples from Austin chose to remain together on Decision Day. Following this, a reunion brought everyone back to discuss life post-filming. Spoiler alert: although all pairs opted to stay married on Decision Day, by the time the reunion aired, none of them were still together.
While the latest season of this popular reality series didn’t yield any enduring romances, our faith in love remains unshaken. Here’s what we know about the upcoming prospects for MAFS on Peacock.
Is ‘Married at First Sight’ Season 20 coming to Peacock?
In a significant shift, Married at First Sight transitioned from Lifetime to Peacock for its 19th season.
Married at First Sight made a big change for season 19, with the show moving from Lifetime to Peacock.
On November 24, Peacock shared a first look at MAFS Season 20. While there’s no premiere date yet, the sneak peek promises plenty of twists and turns, including a couple who met before the wedding day.
Peacock picked up the show in what was reportedly a three-season deal, according to Deadline, which means season 21 could also be in the works.
‘MAFS’ Season 20 reportedly takes place in Seattle
While there’s no official word on the location for MAFS Season 20, the next season will reportedly take place in Seattle, according to Instagram fan account @mafsfan. Interestingly, Married at First Sight expert Dr. Pepper Schwartz has previously said the show was unlikely to film in Seattle because it is “not a very diverse community.”
Casting for the new season may have happened in the last summer of 2025, with filming beginning soon after.
A casting announcement from production company Kinetic Content also confirms that the show is moving forward with production in other cities. Earlier this year, the search was on for singles in Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Kansas City who were willing to marry a complete stranger.
When will the next season of ‘Married at First Sight’ premiere?
There’s no word yet on when new episodes of Married at First Sight might premiere on Peacock. If the show is currently filming, it will likely be at least a few months before we meet the new couples. (MAFS Austin began filming in February 2024 but didn’t premiere until a year and a half later.)
However, with the move to Peacock, Married at First Sight also got a more condensed season. Rather than stretching over several months as it did on Lifetime, Peacock released episodes in batches, with the whole season airing over the course of a single month. That’s similar to the release schedule for Love Is Blind, another Kinetic Content show. Netflix also airs multiple seasons of Love Is Blind per year, and it’s possible that Peacock might be considering doing the same for MAFS.
Married at First Sight Season 19 is now streaming on Peacock.
