“Married at First Sight” is coming back and it’s bringing a group of new singles ready for marriage in Season 5. The reality show, which is moving to Lifetime, follows three couples that experts have matched. They look great together on paper, but they won’t find out if they’re actually soul mates until they get married. The couples meet each other at the altar on their wedding day.

“Married at First Sight” has had mixed results. Only three couples of the twelve couples matched on the show remain married. So who was brave enough to give this experiment a shot? Meet the “Married at First Sight” Season 5 cast below:
