8 September 2025 Television

The Return of Britain’s Favourite Marriage Experiment

Married at First Sight UK has become a television phenomenon, breaking records as the most streamed title across all streaming platforms in the UK. The show’s success is evident from its impressive 1.7 billion minutes viewed in October 2024, putting Channel 4 ahead of major streaming giants like Netflix, Amazon, BBC, and ITV.

When Does MAFS UK 2025 Begin?

The new season is expected to premiere on Monday 15th September 2025. Following the show’s established pattern, episodes will air four nights a week, continuing until November.

Expert Panel and Format

The show’s experienced panel of experts remains unchanged, featuring Paul C Brunson, Charlene Douglas, and Mel Schilling. Schilling, an Australian specialist in human behaviour and performance, also works on MAFS Australia alongside John Aiken and Alessandra Rampolla.

New Cast and Expectations

Speaking about the new MAFS UK season, expert Mel Schilling has expressed excitement about the cast, describing them as “authentic, relatable, surprising” and noting that she has “quite a few favourites this year.”

The rumoured cast includes an interesting mix of personalities, from Julia Ruth Smith (a former back-up dancer for 50 Cent) to Steven Springett, Leah Tyrer, Keye Luke (a blogger), Leisha Lightbody, and Bailey, who brings the perspective of a parent to the experiment.

What to Expect

The hugely popular reality TV series continues its unique format, following hopeful singles as they tie the knot with partners they’ve never met before. Viewers will witness their journey from their first meeting at the altar through to their final vow ceremony.

As Channel 4 teases the new bride and grooms for 2025, there are high hopes for success, especially after the previous season where none of the couples remained together after final vows. Experts Mel Schilling, Paul C Brunson, and Charlene Douglas are determined to create more lasting matches in season 10.
