MAFS Season 5 premiere date
“Married at First Sight” Season 5 and “Married at First Sight: Second Chances” will debut in April. FYI

“Married at First Sight” fans should get excited. The show is returning for Season 5 this spring! The reality show will have a different home, though.

“Married at First Sight” Season 5 premieres on Thursday, April 27 at 8 p.m. EDT on Lifetime. The show is moving away from its Tuesday home on FYI, so be sure to adjust your DVR accordingly. After the premiere night (which includes a matchmaking special), it will start at 9 p.m. EDT.

The new season will feature the return of our three experts: sociologist Dr. Pepper Schwartz, communication and relationship expert Rachel DeAlto and Pastor Calvin Roberson. They’ll match three new couples in the city of Chicago.

The reality show pairs together two strangers who are a perfect match on paper, and they get married without ever meeting. After getting married at first sight, they have six weeks to figure out if they can make their blind arranged marriage work. Season 1 had two couples survive (Doug Hehner and Jamie Otis are even expecting a baby), and Season 4 has only one couple still together. Seasons 2 and 3 did not result in any successful marriages.

“MAFS” fans will have a full night of programming to look forward to. A new spin-off series, “Married at First Sight: Second Chances” will follow Season 3 divorcees David Norton and Vanessa Nelson. Their separate marriages both failed, but they’ll be looking for love in a new series. They aren’t rushing down the aisle though. They’ll each be dating several people in Atlanta in hopes that they’ll find a relationship that could lead to marriage one day.

“Married at First Sight: Second Chances” will also air on Lifetime. It premieres Thursday, April 27 at 10:15 p.m. EST on Lifetime.
